Beauty , Within' the Beauty

as I sit and read my favorite book
knock knock on the door diverts my attention
I get up , of course , to take a look
only to find a beautifully wrapped package
I look all around , nobody to be found
who left this intriguing gift on the ground
I stoop to reach , but freeze in mid-air
begin to wonder , what's inside of there ?

the wrapping enticing , mysteriously exciting
visions of wanting , become flooding emotions
I decide to step back , slow down my tracks...

in hopes of uncovering the beauty within' the beauty .
