Perpetually flawed

An analytical perspective reducing problems as time slips away Losing perspective just in time, to live a little more Perceived beauty in each narrowed gaze As the wind goads leaves to play Finite universe of unnerving depth, nearly too broad to gauge Twisting perception ever further, as the ignorant fall short Time progresses in lapsing chunks, infinitesimally placed As a sparse patch of rosemary confounds the green sage Taught by some to limited ends, as perspective sets to stone Never perceiving underlying motives of a lone ant Like a profound understanding, ever fundamentally flawed Wrought by expansive perspectives of greater minds than mine Inevitability is but a state of mind, owed to limited thought Shining lights into the night to reignite the day Dedicated to a flailing cause, won over misconceptions, Add a measure of salt to the sea to stop its bubbling froth Watching waves steal away land at any time of day As tides fall in and out of favor with the sun Counted grains of sand drift along the shore In an attempt to confirm your complex sum Creative chains of idea bound to anchor stones Yet still set to float upon the sea of knowledge, unassisted Actively promoted by ignorant fools confirmationally won Ever alive to reason away another day tomorrow
