The Brown Paper Envelope. (Revised).

This envelope is so beautiful
                          I do not want to open it,
Brown paper the colour of fallen leaves.

This envelope is perhaps a flower,
An autumn bloom pierced with shards of light ;
An unread book,
            The poems of Thich Nhat Hahn.

This envelope is not a leaf,
And yet one day it may become one;
A single page danced upon by words.
