Autoplay

Autumn confirms
the less-than-perfect
as the most endearing,
as chaste reluctance
moves unnoticed to
involuntary giving.

Spring never brought
a blemish to your candid gaze,
never attached any poignancy
to a naked glance.

And summer was too much
engaged in blossoming
to know that imperfections would bring
the tenderest, most haunting of all wantings.

Oh! it is extremely BEAUTIFUL! and this - brings hope and light through everything! - imperfections would bring the tenderest, most haunting of all wantings.
