I polish daily my own divinity,
There's no superior or superiority,
For divinity in me is divinity in thee.

The land of kotodama, where all springs from the one,
Where Anjin San visited and a new journey began,
Where the lotus flower bloomed from which Aikido sprang.

Where cherry blossoms grow then as the petals fall,
The kami of the kamikazi, I can here them call,
I see the snow topped peak of Fuji yet below nothing at all,
A land of history and mystery like the soul of us all.

And as the sun meets the sky and the moon meets the sea,
A devine calm descends and spreads through humanity,
I see O'Sensei smiling, raising a toast, a bowl of best saki,
I smile back and raise a toast, a nice hot cup of tea.

The view of enemies fade and cease,
Life becomes the path itself, free of belief,
True budo you become, from a cocoon released.

What were those foolish thoughts of fight and opposition?
What were those foolish wants for power and position?
The kami dance for joy, buddha nature is expressed,
When religion disappears divinity and holiness is left.

If only people knew all else is non existence,
If only people knew if only don't exist,
The fog would clear and left would be a swirling mist.

Yeah but, no but, yeah but,yeah but no but what if?
There is no yeah but or no but or what if, it's all a myth.
The mist now clearing the sun shines, and it detects,
The formless forming and shows, if what? Respect!

Flowing and knowing no need for a,b, c's.
Inviting, uniting, divine intervention,
Centre of centre, the quiet dimension.

Blending with goodness, a divine form collection,
Blending with the spirit of loving protection,
Cherry blossoms, trees, rustling leaves,
The world, the earth, the universe, kokyu breathes.
