	<body><![CDATA[Med -- I couldn't help myself.  I liked your poem so much I had to try my hand at it.  This is not meant to be in competiton with, or a rebuttle to yours -- just an exploration of my aikido.

:ai: Harmony with Love
Submit my will, my desires,
to the Lover of my soul.
Grace, all sufficient, balances everything.

:ki: Creator's Breath, Starwind
Co-mingled with my breath.
Inhale: I am made brighter than any star.
Exhale: Your grace offered to the world.

:do: Revelation in Mercy
Each step faithfully guided.
My blindness diminished by Light.
My legs strengthened by Grace.

The Wind lifts my wings to flight
Following the path older than stars.
All obstacles naught  but refining fire:
Love restores my harmony.  I am home.]]></body>
