武道 詩抄 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

face it

don't fale it; 

work hard

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

gate keepers

true nice necessary;

before saying anything 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

people who control 

are out of control; 

is it worth it

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

the wind blows

and snow flows;

storm-a-comin

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

nature angers

water gods let loose;

dogs of war

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

modest in talk 

actions speak loudest;

like water padawan

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

feel the feeling

ignore its emotion;

being present

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

a time to move

a time for stillness;

each moment presents

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

being done with others

not mad just done;

boundaries brother 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

inhale the good

exhale the bad;

breathe deeply 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

a strong urge

to be suppressed; 

breathe deeply brother

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

we come from darkness 

we return to darkness; 

it ain't a light brother 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

a light in darkness 

blackest black;

then nothing 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

spring-n-summer

then fall-n-winter;

times up

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

anger is one thing

cruelty quite another; 

don't be an asshole 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

best experiences 

from bad decisions; 

lead to good ones

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

respect feeds 

one's character;

what personality 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

as one thinks

is as one is;

use self-talk

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

use the useful

useless goes dev-null;

be mindful

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

meat covered skeleton 

riding a rock;

hurtling along 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

change a world 

self changes necessary; 

be presently present

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

your thinking 

makes it possible; 

stay positive 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

there is direct

there is indirect; 

don't ignore either
