I wasn't looking!
There you were
wrapped in tinsel
tied in bright ribbons
Carefully, I removed
the shiny paper,
Inside a box
exploding with glittery
multicolored light
I could only gaze
in wonder
Allow little specks
of glitter to stick
to my skin,
Once the spray
fizzled to its end,
sadly, I realized
it was a transient
surprise.
I watched the sparkles
fade one by one
only a few cling
to the edges of the box
reminders of a fleeting
moment
that was mine.
