Budo {G}aiku Shishō XLIX

武道 詩抄

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

to travel

is to feel variety;

to think differently 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

to travel within

depending on the self; 

infinite possibilities 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

unshackled of others 

wandering the great void; 

being self-reliant 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

a light rain

smells of serenity; 

lets go dancing

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

sun sets

water flowing;

being water my padawan

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

fly away

my little starling; 

into the night

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

no illumination 

no Enlightenment;

can wisdom flourish 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

to be good at things

you have to be bad;

lessons learned

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

quality of thinking 

equals quality of life; 

positivity rules 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

sadness weighs heavy 

on the heart and mind;

let your spirits rise 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

heavy heart

depressed feelings; 

another song to sing

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

frogs croaking 

lily pads float;

leap across a pond

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

goldfish swim 

inside small waters;

life happy fish

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

discipline is simple 

dedicated effort; 

vision to actions 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

to be still

through movement;  

great skill have you 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

be like grass

when the wind blows;

water my friend 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

conscious non-action 

gateway to the flow;

breathing keystone 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

cold steel table

of blood grooves;

hard and final

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

hachi dan

milestone progression 

what's it really mean 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

identities are 

of the mind;

be mindful of this

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

an ocean 

realizes waves; 

enlightened waters 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

realized potential

path to tao;

to be enlightened 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

see the mountain 

climb the mountain; 

finding mountain range 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

trees sway 

to the breeze;

patience of nature 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

zen  master sayith 

we will see;

what goes around
