Perfect Imperfection

Have you observed the asymmetry
    In the petals of a carnation?
Its imperfect fractal geometry
    Amalgamates into a perfect creation!

How curious are those assorted arcs
    Ascending from violet to red
Whose imperfect array of bright and dark
   Forms the perfect rainbow over your head!

Have you paid heed to the bees, toads and birds
   Buzzing, croaking and chirping in cacophony?
How in tandem the imperfect chord
    Transforms into a perfect symphony!

Take a moment each day to relish
  The myriad hues and tones of the sunset
An imperfect palate of purple, pink and orangish
  Is bound to leave you in perfect delight!

What about the fingers on your hands and toes
  That help you weave, knead, stand and twirl
Their imperfect sizes of highs and lows
  Getting you that perfect bow and hurl!

Just think of the adorable baby
  Giggling, smiling and babbling
In a language so imperfect that in reality
  Is the one that’s perfect, pure and endearing!

In this worlds that’s imperfectly perfect
  Would it be wiser to say?
Given that all that’s imperfect
  Is perfectly nice this way!
