Who can say What secrets lay Around the corner or Undiscovered by Human thought? What lines do I read between? What is there already - Hidden in plain sight? Inconspicuous - But Not Invisible. Omote and Ura of Kata - The outer shape And inner meanings. The lines and shape Of the form Once practiced - No longer static but Natural motions Of the body Moving on its own, Flowing without thought. The full moon Is reflected by The puddle of water Near the curb.

Walking alone at nightWith only lonely streetsTo keep me companyAs the moon lights my path.
Who can sayWhat secrets layAround the corner orUndiscovered byHuman thought?
What lines do I read between?What is there already -Hidden in plain sight?
Inconspicuous -But NotInvisible.
Omote and Ura of Kata -The outer shapeAnd inner meanings.
The lines and shapeOf the formOnce practiced -No longer static butNatural motionsOf the bodyMoving on its own,Flowing without thought.
The full moonIs reflected byThe puddle of waterNear the curb.
I see only an outer shape -Yet the water yields to the touchAnd I cannot grasp or holdIts form which flows -Taking the shape of its container.
