The present came to her, out of the blue;
unexpectedly.
She saw with some surprise,
it was sheathed in burnt sienna
and tied without
visible strings.
Impressed upon it
wordlessly were: 1st Class, Priority.
It lay before her, glittering;
she yet to gleam in recognition.
Strongly made in skin, box fresh
and so beautifully designed that
she left the past
in the dark.
She opened her heart
and the present fell in.
She wondered how she had lived without it.
