PERFECTION SEEKER

 Before one commits he seeks a perfect situation
 I might say now that this is futile
 The looking may take forever 
 Because perfection is allusive 
 What you thought was there and right
 Changes quickly as does circumstance
 You spot a flaw; that is your perception
 A wonderful opportunity is passed by
  
 A person expresses an interest in another
 This being is then examined by the pursued
 Again, little flaws appear which puts 
 the person in a less than ideal perspective
 The warrior, as we will call him,
 continues on his search, which may
 include an employment opening, or
 someone to cherish and love
 Possibly a house he wishes to make a home
 Time continues to march on as time does
  
 A favorable juncture of situations occurs
 The warrior has a heart that is beating rapidly
 In his mind he has arrived
 Everything is favorable, finally at last
 He strives in to seal the deal, so to speak
 but someone else is hired in the ideal job
 The house is sold out from under him as 
 he reacted too slowly and then his own flaws
 chased away the one person he could love
  
 He is alone and totally broken
 The past events and chances make no sense 
 He, in his mind, has been a fool and 
 now perfection means very little to him
 He is willing to settle on less than his ideal
 He is older and still has to grow
 Wisdom was slow in weaving itself into 
 what we will call his reality
 The only perfection was his imperfection
