Perfection Born
I wrote so many
in hope of one
A lyrical surfer
his wave to come
One verse to ride,
the search complete
And all eternity
within my reach
As the quiet ended,
in a thunderous roar
The wait was over,
its message sure
All judgment past,
and future scorned
A timeless present,
—perfection born
