nostalgia
we are imperfect
life is imperfect
blackberries hide in thorns
roses too
they bloom against the scorn
in our perfect place
of dreams
our reality
is an imperfect love
paragraphs of imperfect words
we search for good
in imperfect places
hidden away
waiting for weeds
to be pruned away
we are imperfect gardeners
growing imperfect blooms
that bloom
flower
wither away
yet
nostalgically in
our imperfect rhyme
the art of the mind
in life’s chaotic fray
beautiful remains
hearts that stay
forever
longer than a day
