Haiku
The drapery falls,
Revealing myriad illusions,
of the truest lies

An orchid blooms,
Lives, withers, dies, and falls
my life is such

Steer me into port
Stormy seas surround me now,
shine saving grace

Mirror shatters
Bright glinting shards tumble
Down into the void

Raven circles high
Above a field of death
seeing only truth

Light awakens
But cannot pierce the darkness
Of the human soul

A tainted soul
Can only ever be freed
by pure deeds

The taint of self
Will be purged by one act
Joyous death of I

Make light and heat
from the wisdom dwelling within
true compassion

Foes upon all sides
My mind is true Mushin
Reflect their blows


Swooping blow above
Catch before mobile Hara
Swirl onto the mat


Up above his head
Whistling bright Katana
yet, victory is mine


Attacked by foes
No-mindedly deflect their fists
Irimi into the flame


Meditate on lies
Become part of illusion
True and false as one

A veil on reality
Is the conscious working
Of tainted minds

Love is a function
Of biochemical faculties
Yet binds us all

A peaceful mind
Sees no inherent horror
In deaths grim face

Downwards flows
The descent into pain
Come up pure 

A simple fact
Madness is the uncovering
Of deeper truths

A mystery lies,
As a woven blanket there
To warm the soul

Symbols swirl an
Occult net to guard the mind
From It beyond

In looking back
Through aeons past
We see ourselves
