Nothing ever goes according to plan

perhaps the plan is a gauntlet

thrown in the face of the fates

creating a world on a tilt

a planet out of balance

we are built with flaws

set on a course of overcoming

built to rise up again

after each failure sets us down

maybe the masterpiece lies in the broken pieces

and we are simply blind to the beauty within

perhaps the masterpiece is painted

with our flaws and failures

waiting for our eyes to finally see – Caroline A. Slee
