Seeking Perfection

As a glowing soul does, I am
seeking.
Once or twice I have spied these tranquilities
these "perfections."
They are impure
tarnished at best
but they exist truthfully
and are therefore beautiful.
Without design or layers to hide
they are real and bare
gorgeous in their vulnerability.
They that are not faux are perfect
because the only sin is to lie.
Perfection is satisfaction
and to be content is to be beautiful.
In our flight from fear, we forget
that it is really happiness we desire
not success or prowess.
Perfection is happiness
so why have we stopped
seeking?
