武道 詩抄 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

to see is

to look beyond self;

uncover your blindness 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

wood nymphs 

dance to nature; 

can one see

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

the mind in stillness

the body in motion;

martial balance

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

seek peaceful coexistence

individual beliefs aside;

value everyone

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

knowing is power 

character gains respect; 

be of good character 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

being family

seen as loyalty;

loyalty trumps blood 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

actions tactics are

nonactions strategies are;

knowing difference is 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

don't assume 

get the facts;

be present

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

don't judge 

try understanding first; 

in the kNOW

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

before speaking

think and understand; 

be of good character 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

to need and want

my solitude; 

not about you

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

do no harm

don't allow abuse; 

kind till not

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

light creates shadows

it doesn't cast them; 

only shadow knows 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

words create conflict 

silence finds peace;

pick your path

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

accept the truth

discard the lies;

building character 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

don't react with fear 

do act with courage; 

it's up to you 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

talk is cheap

actions are gold;

build fort knox 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

build character 

earn respect;

be present

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

a great memory

but still stupid;

tanks 4 the memories 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

marriage teaches us

to avoid marriage;

listen to yourself 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

actions speak

louder than words;

why there's EBD's 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

misguided children

of the very cause;

the matrix has you

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

precision is powerful 

timing is fast; 

it's all smooth 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

for every action 

there's a reaction;

called consequences 

GAIKU BY SEISUI [静水]

to listen is

to be silent;

now is the moment
