Aikido's a capacity, a space and a flow,
All thoughts of physical don't exist, so let go;
Within, without, is one no doubt,
Silent and quiet, the light shines out.
Capacity, nothingness, in which to stand,
From which comes faith, the only hand,
Which holds within it both space and time,
And harmonizes as is Gods plan.
The space, the love joins in and Kokyu is born,
Devoid of hatred, intention, control or scorn,
The heavens opening, the heavens gate,
Pass through, learn kokyu before it's too late.
And let the polished spirit, the kindness flow,
Interfere not for it knows where to go,
8 directions, five circles, enjoy the ride,
No need to escape or run or fight or even hide.
And all returns to peace,
The enemy healed and now released,
Injured bird healed and now set free,
The way of Aikido, are you ready?
