Perfection is illusive as a shimmering mirage;
yet we strive for it, ignoring the wisdom of our hearts.

How many vibrant poems and songs still remain unsung,
robbed of life and passion before they have begun?

The quest for perfection mistakes mere brass for gold,
resulting in many a brilliant tale left untold.

So let’s remove perfection from our daily quest,
and nurture instead our talents at their very best.
