the sky

          stained with 

          bloody crimson and

          indigo’s breath

 

the trees

          on each leaf

          tears of dew rested

          like crystalized sugar


the air

          humbly perfumed 

          dancing with 

          pleasant aroma

 

her toes

          deep in the earth

          that sat soft beneath

          her callused feet


her hair

          teased by the 

          sweat illuminating

          her hairline


her eyes

          sapphire blue

          blazing under her

          orange halo


her face

          glowing with

          perfection

                    residing in her

                    emptiness 


The author's comments:

Striving for perfection will always leave you unfulfilled. The Lord’s creation is beautiful, and you are beautifully and wonderfully made. You weren’t created to be perfect; your worth never changes!
