Perfection

A butterfly in the wind,

The further I reach,

The farther it flies,

Ever fluttering

Just beyond my fingertips.

I should catch it.

I must catch it.

It is what's expected;

It is what's necessary.

Whispering, it taunts me,

Knowing it lies

Beyond my grasp,

But I must pursue it

Anyway.

There should be no mistakes.

I cannot make a mistake.

No errors are permitted;

No blunders are acceptable.

In one hand, I hold knowledge:

It is impossible.

In the other, I hold desire:

It must be reached.

"Or Else" is not an option.

Azure wings against azure sky

Unattainable

Irresistible 

Perfection.
