Go Board


I look across the
Field of play
At my opponent
Our eyes meeting

The intangible link
That now connects us
Is as strong and real
As steel cable

And forged in the
Same fires
Unbreakable
No turning back

Vision narrowed
Yet, paradoxically
Taking in the universe
The six elements

The five senses
And the mind
Focusing on the moment
I let the universe settle

Around us
Breathing deeply
Thoughts clear
Ki stored and ready

The outcome
Is already there
But still in flux
As I mentally

Watch the Go board
Move itself
The moves too
Ethereal for chess

Following the
Lines of confluence
To their ultimate
Conclusion
