The Buddha Smiles
He sits smiling
Almost smirking
Inaudibly chanting
OOOOOOOOOO…my
OOOOOOOOOO…my
A gathering
Of gatherers
Seizing moments of glee
Lost in animated wrapping paper
Children lost in a moment
Bathing in the innocence of now
Sharing their unfettered joy
The Buddha smiles
Knowing
They will spend a lifetime
In search of
such moments
