Place of Pure Perfection
For a dear friend:

For far too many years
I have wanted to be flawless,
    Perfecting my pursuits,
    I bargained all for love.
For all those many years
I made masks of my own doing,
    Pursuing my perfection,
    I found I was pursued.
And then
one day
I fell
    sprawled
    flattened
    on the fertile
    ground of self.
Naked in dirt
no mask
no bargains
I raised my soiled face
and there
    you were
I struggled to stand.
Dirst from my body fell
in your eyes.
Your hand reached for me.
Blinded,
your hand reached
me.
There is, in all of us, the place of pure perfection.
we discover its geography together.


Update: Realised I left off the credit!! Will add the author's credit later..
