武道 詩抄

THE AGED ONE 🐉

when you gotta go

don't delay; 

accidents at this age

MOMENTS IN TIME (NOW)

two dogs groomed

looking so good;

family brothers 

MOMENTS IN TIME (NOW)

to share but

not to share;

reciprocity questions

Wagamamana shijin [わがままな詩人]

Budō shijin [武道詩人]

Minarai shijin [見習い詩人]

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

falling asleep 

maybe wake next day;

oh what a night

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

as sun sets 

feelings deepen dark;

close eyes sleep deep

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

daily chores

sweep it clean;

always another day 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

happiness is

the best medicine; 

laugh a lot

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

suffer loneliness 

standing among many;

loving true solitude 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

consistent equitable

effort by all;

tribal survival 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

forged blades require

great heat;

pound the raw steel

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

let mind roam free

the body will follow;

free your mind

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

a flurry of white

creating a winter blanket; 

natures winter beauty

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

when up eat when

and sleep when you can; 

survival of the fittest

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

take inspiration 

from whence it came; 

coo coo cachoo 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

you learn quickly

what you know;

dwarfed by what's not known

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

problems aren't outside 

they reside inside;

self-reflection is good 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

tribal survival 

requires hearts of stone; 

go the distance 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

whoda thought yellow

footprints meant so much;

OORAH

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

be who you are 

approval not needed; 

up yours asshole

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

never fear it

never regret it;

always learning

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

sitting or standing

doesn't really matter; 

got to go pee 

Tao of self (Jibun no Tao [自分のタオ])

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

see through fear 

to be truly safe;

open your third eye

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

slow down time

stay in the moment;

it's where we live anyway

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

calm is powerful

strength in self control;

right self talk

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

you can only do

what you can do;

mull that over

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

stone cold

takes a special type;

prepare for the worst

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

punch-em in the face

with your words;

that's sarcasm folks

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

slow down

you move to fast;

let the moment last

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

for a perfect day

remain wholehearted; 

have a heart pal

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

live in the present

with serenity and calm; 

in the moment

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]
