Truth is enveloped in a picture we seek.

But often the image is inferior or weak.

It isn't truth that has been compromised.

Nor is it the ideal that was not realized.

It's a condition of our heart and what we may have perceived.

We start out with high hopes, but come away feeling deceived.

We anticipate joy when we open a new and appealing door.

But often our prospects and dreams seem to collapse on the floor.

So we close the door and seek a different direction.

Because we cannot accept that there could be no perfection.

And the journey begins on this endless plight:

Disappointment is a state of mind with no end in sight.
