As the old adage says: If you can see the enemy,
the enemy can see you.
Good advice, if you have enemies
But who does not?
You?
Lucky you
Still, the universe is
A hostile place
And the future unfolds
Mysteriously
With unknown joy
And pain
Be prepared, why not?
Seek understanding
And your martial art
Of choice
Enough? We'll see
Sitting in zazen
I look into the Void
And see eyes
Looking back
