present

by Mary Frances Spencer

unwind me
ribbon binding bright
paper taped edges
bound up expectations
mystery within

tear away
the outer
wrapping
and shred through
superficial
layers
reveal

this present
moment
freely given
precious
beyond price

treasure
is

the fragile
now

handle with care

I love this from beginning to end. a very special poetic expression. I love "this present moment"! In my favorites.

This is truly "being in the moment" in the unwrapping> Handle with care.
