The perfect gift

Ever wrap the perfect gift
To be mailed
To the Perfect person
With the perfect paper

In the perfect box
With the perfect address
Sealed 3x with the perfect Clear Wide Tape
(Postmaster approved!)

And THEN,
REALIsE

THAT...
The perfect CARD
Which SHOULD have been in
that perfect box
with the perfect paper
is still OUTSIDE,
THE NOW ,
NOT SO PERFECT BOX...
Yes...
Still staring quizzically at YOU
Wondering
how you could have
forgotten such a thing?...

Our Heart is like that sometimes,
So perfectly wrapped,
and yet
we have to cut it
back open
all over again

Dissect it, carefully,
so as not to hurt or destroy
all the BEAUTY that has
already been created
Just to add another
Layer
of
PERFECT LOVE
Before we seal it back up
All
Over
Again.

  1. Another sweet layer of LOVE ...
    This IS the perfect gift and it needs no more wrapping ...
    ... as much as your sweet poems, perfect as they are.

    Thank you, Narayan, for sharing your joy and for passing around the ruby-colored drink of your experience of the Beloved.
