Well, you are perfect.
And not in the way of comparing you
with some external ideal,
not in the way of trial and judgment

But in the simple artless way
of being who you are, as no one else
can ever be, as everyone else is,
(intelligence never repeating itself
throughout the infinite creation)

Original and always true,
so loved in each particular,
so you, in every thought and each expression,
perfect through all time
and ever new.
