Label

I could wrap you
In secret
And cling
Like double-sided
Just to keep
Your gift
From prying eyes

But I have
No label
A name, perhaps
But no concept
No complete picture
For the pieces
Of you

Labels
Are for things.
Boundaries.
Pigeon holes.
For just a
Moment
In the journey

We remove them
On arrival
Or when they are
Dog-eared 
Or when they are wrong
Or at least
We should

I don't want 
To label
You.
Me.
Or
Anyone

Unless
That label..
Reads as follows:
"Seen"
"Found"
"Friend"
"Unique"
"BeLoved"
"Beautiful"
"Accepted"
"Treasured"
"Marvellous"
"Just perfect"
"No changes required"
"If lost, please return home"
