Re: Aikido Inspired Prosaic Poetry

Ahhh! To roll!
To open the gates and release the bull
To fly and twist and turn
To wake up.
I sigh between deep breaths of exhausted delight
A smile inside
And outward it shines.
The smell of hinoki and the sound of bells
of drums and laughter
forever in my heart.
To roll in Kannagara
the infinite restless flow
and a pure calm I come to know.

Gambarimashyo!
