The Buddha's Smile

Something I need to look into

When the Buddha smiles

Claws on my soul slip away

But I don't know why 

Author's Note

I seriously need to look into this Buddhist thing. I saw that movie "Little Buddha" about the little blonde kid in Seattle the Tibetan monks thought were the reincarnation of their Dali Lama. It wasn't the reincarnation, mythological story of Siddhartha that got to me, it was the monks acceptance of everything and the incredible peace they emanated. Same deal with the Dali Lama. I don't think I've ever seen a more happy go lucky public figure with that amount of child like charm in my life and man has he gotten his fair share of stress. Sometimes I think we're the ones that are bat shit crazy and they're the one's who've got it all figured out. Just a hunch I guess. Peace boys and girls

The man is incredible, I totally agree. I think you may be onto something. Inner peace sounds like the most precious thing besides love that we can attain. I long for that inner peace too. There is beauty in simplicity and there is wisdom in your senryu.
