Life flows from one source, eternity flows on its course.
Human existence through the light, Stress of the day blurs my sight.
The force of life flows from one point, more essential than any skeletal joint.
It drives us, gives our lives purpose, yet we only scratch its kinetic surface.
Movements non-liner, circles of motion, generated from the Hara, controlled emotions.
Aggression approaches, calmness takes a hand, excitement loses to calm, it can not stand.
Defeat at your own hands, the fighting mind causes strife, It can lead to many sorrows, cutting like a knife.
I wish for totally harmony, a mind finally at rest, It is our own weakness, that puts us to the test.
