A tiny fascination
A small spark of interest
In an exotic mystery
Shrouded with secrets

Incites me to learn
About obscure origins
In a distant, foreign land
Itself, surrounded by mysticism

It only fans a burning curiosity
An insatiable desire to know more
Of a culture reversed from my own
Of a totally different way to think

And of language of cryptic essence
Filled with a beautiful, simple logic
That is incomprehensible
To those who don't understand - or don't try

All aspects of this small nation
Drew me in
With an ever increasing attraction
That some may call obsession

But whatever it may be;
It encompasses respect and deep admiration
For strongly held ideals
And an eloquently human philosophy
