How the Light's let in (perfectly imperfect and faultlessly flawed poem)
There's a tiny crack in everything
tis how the light's let in...
Everything lacks perfection
In the smallest particle there’s a flaw
Imperfection is our protection
Imperfection’s an immutable law
There’s a tiny crack in everything
tis how the light’s let in...
There exists no perfect circle
An impossibility, a linear line
Nor persists a faultless square
nae a truly enlightened mind
Yet.. There’s a tiny crack in everything
And tis how the light’s let in...
There’s no such thing as perfection
There’s no such condition as ‘just right’
No such thing as exact recollection
No such thing as ‘perfect light'
there’s a wee, tiny crack in everything
No matter er'e wide or thin
tis the flaw that keeps the dark without
And tis how the light’s let in
Aye, there's a tiny crack in everything
and tis how the light's let in.

flaws
cracks, imperfections are those accidents that occur. I think they make us unique, I enjoy that. Yes, I like this poem very much. raskin
