Ryōkan and Tenshin

Just a little change
Small to say the least
Both a little scared
Neither one prepared
Beauty and the beast

Maybe it takes
A few years
To take it right
Maybe it is all
Just an illusion
A story 
They try to sell us
As a blockbuster
Maybe

I noticed
That spark
In the corner 
of your smile
And the language 
Of your small
Charming
Nose.
And the brightness
in your eyes
When you spoke to me.

And that was enough
For the world
To spin around
For circa 180°
Surely it's not
a Nirvana moment
Although it may feel
As such
Surely
It's just 
some spin

That happens,
We’re good at
Unspining it
Back
Years of suffering
And humiliation
Every morning meditation
And every evening
Practice of self-examination
All the effort put
Into denying
Yourself the right
To your self
Every piece of silver
Given to “the needy”
Even own clothes donated
Almost naked
I can easily
Shrug my shoulders
And walk away
From that 
Slightly embarrassing 
Situation
Whistling 
“Serenade in Blue”

But maybe
Just may as it be
You want me to stay…
Just say
