In pleasant packages
No ribbons and bows
And even after you
Open them up
They don’t offer
Immediate appeal,
And perhaps
Some presents
Are not gifts at all,
But what you
Already have
Left alone
Unmarred
By life’s persistent
Spirits
Sometimes
The best presents
Are the ones
You give
With no questions
Asked
Peace on earth
No racket of reindeer
Rising from the roof
No ‘ho ho ho”
Either
Just quiet
