Anyone can appreciate
	The master of a skill
The one who takes the time
	The do the job right
The one who takes pride
	In all that he does.

Mastery is attention to detail
	A commitment to excellence
A practice for perfection
	A passion for the art
A readily discernable difference
	From that which is ordinary.

There is a point beyond which
	No master is the same
Even a simple piece of music
	By two masters will be distinct
Reflecting the uniqueness 
	Of the soul from which it sprang.

Some have it that mastery is hard,
	But I think it not
Maybe 99% effort would be,
	But the master gives his all
Eliminating the resistance
	Pouring out his heart.

Mastery is a thing of beauty
	An elegance of style
An act of love
	A gift to the world
A thing of integrity
	A simplicity complete.
