The present not ready to be presented

The paper is it is wrapped in is light and saggy...
The bow is twisted, and wrinkled, and knotted...
The name tag is bland and simple and addressed to no one...
The contents are beautiful and unusual...
raw and unrefined like a uncut diamond,
still beautiful and amazing the way it is...
It is already everything it needs to be...
Just needing to be cut and refined...
Amazing in the thought of what it could be...

That is the package that is not ready to be presented.

LOL.
adam adam.
boy, you crack me up!


i kinda think i sorta maybe
get it.. but i hate jumping
the gun & getting it wrong.

cause i am too inricate in
my thoughts so to be honest, it
sounds like it could be quite
a few things with you subtle
explaination & discriptions.

like it alot though.
its funny how we can like
things that we are not sure
that we fully understand.
