武道 詩抄 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

tangled web weaved 

when one deceived; 

kill that spider

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

darkness 

makes light possible; 

flip the switch 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

breathe right

gain balance; 

slow and deep

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

actions make a man 

words espress it;

words follow actions

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

stress responses

can be good or bad;

in the now

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

opinions are

thoughts without data; 

just the facts man

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

deaths a knocken

at that portal; 

knock knock knockin 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

happiness is 

ability dealing with;

problems my padawan

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

take a breathe

in this moment;

deep and slow my padawan 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

don't judge if 

it's not your experience;

being an asshole

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

manners matter

without emotions;

be nice my padawan

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

breathe deeply

think creatively;  

in this moment pal

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

behave decently 

toward everyone; 

just do it my padawan

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

think for yourself 

trust your instincts; 

ain't intuition grand

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

listening carefully

toward understanding; 

holding one's tongue

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

reset restart  

and refocus;

even when it hurts

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

the way is

never ending change;

alternating constantly

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

your boundaries 

before others feelings;

set them solid

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

concepts are neither 

constant or permanent;

seeking the true way

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

getting to know me 

you may not like it;

red moon rises

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

red robin's

eatin apples;

all winter long

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

in constant motion 

being waters padawan;

da-dum da-dum da-dum

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

boundaries important

critically so;  

a smidge either way

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

first light

like first contact;

illuminating 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

flitter flutter 

like a butterfly; 

snow falling

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

acceptable apology

from actions not words;

so sorry pal

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

life's real stressors 

come from one's responses; 

ain't you my padawan 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

I'm a nice guy 

and I have limits; 

don't pass them 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

being tough

how's your stamina; 

dojo enters you

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

seeing all sides

seeing over looking;

eyes wide open 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

to be happy

one must choose to be;

don't worry be ... 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

build the mind

then build the body; 

a mind-body thing

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

when with evil

what I see; 

hidden dangers

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

do amazing things 

by having fun;

ain't life grand 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

infinite emptiness 

darkest of deep space;

dark black moment 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

no response

is a response;

powerful one is that 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

time means nothing 

character everything;  

nice personality 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

sometimes violence

is an answer; 

feeling like a nut

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

making mistakes 

about discovery;

look deeply my friend 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

knowledge is  

information understood;

mull that one over

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

baby steps

build changes;

little things matter

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

not perfect 

nor imperfect; 

being authentic

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

talk for expression 

listen to understand; 

learn through the process 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

isn't given freely 

not worth it;

let it go my friend

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

no gain

without effort;

conserve to preserve

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

winning starts

in the mind;

one's reality true 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

remember rome 

its fall fell fast; 

not far from rome

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

greatest lesson

learn to remain calm; 

breathe deeply

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

free will is

your permission; 

doing the right thing

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

barrel of monkeys

are a lot of fun;

tame your monkey brain 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

living in the past 

kills your future;

stay in this moment

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

average people

don't exist; 

people just are 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

think you're perfect 

blinded you are;

entering event horizon 

THE MINARAI SHIJIN [見習い詩人]

have enough knowledge

to know you don't; 

know you don't know
