Mirage of the Perfect

Everyone of us wants to become the The Perfect, or atleast we do aim to be - albeit consciously or otherwise. However, to reach as near as possible to the exact vantage point, we need to list down the right virtues.

This poem is penned to remind myself few of the principles, which I believe is supposed to be carried, in as many moments as possible for our own versions upgrade from Good -> Better -> Best.

One who can make sandcastles out of thin air
One who can go on, when all there is - is friction
One who can read between the lines or spaces & tread,
One who can smile without a reason like a child

Everyone foresees the mirage of the Perfect but in the end,
One who can will be the one who will &
One who will would be the one who can.



One who can stay afloat despite turbulent storms
One who knows to move in, when all else is moving out
One who can restart, when the process wheel is stuck
One who knows not to cling to a fact, thing or desire

Everyone foresees the mirage of the Perfect but in the end,
One who can will be the one who will &
One who will would be the one who can.



One who knows the crests & troughs being parts and parcel
One who has no walls around mind, body and heart
One who thinks water, mending to fill the gaps at will
One who sees up to soar, when the chips are down

Everyone foresees the mirage of the Perfect but in the end,
One who can will be the one who will &
One who will would be the one who can.



One who can see and bring hope & light out of nowhere
One who can distill the worthy/non worthy with finesse
One who applies "+,-,*,/" to every aspect that comes upfront
One who sees things as they are and not what is wanted to be

Everyone foresees the mirage of the Perfect but in the end,
One who can will be the one who will &
One who will would be the one who can.
