Potential....

The blessing is the seed of growth
Which only when nurtured right
begins to sprout root and shoot
and gravitate towards the lights.

The journey is fraught with risk
and the chance to fail also exists
yet whilst the road is never smooth
the end result can only be good

To err is human, and rightly so
for no one is perfect on their first go
yet after falling, to continue to try
gives us wings, that we learn to fly

The guides remain the two holy lights
and the journey is best made by night
with consistent action and pure intention
maybe one day we'll touch perfection

  1. Can perfection be attained in this world?

    Lovely poem.

  2. Thank you. And theoretically, I'd say yes. I am sure that there must have been a few (fallible) people, who, if not there, got really close.
