Poetry of a Warrior

Poetry Excerpts from Jules Sempai's upcoming book, Genesis of a Warrior.

Filled with anticipation  
A certain egoless elation
knowing that the journey
has broadened
more than real
more than I can express
how I feel
The bond that comes
with the raise of the glass
forged until the last
breath
that ushers out
My soul
to new worlds
for warriors bold
a belt tied
another tied and released


Sorrow-filled loss
accepting peace
feeling the pain
deep within 
this blue soul
crying inside
with the notion
of ronin tried
Kamisa place of honor
truth devoted
I walk new
toward my death
facing the challenge
in every step
mindful of what treachery
can be
knowing that my Sensei
has prepared
me
for what you have
taught me
I have become a bit
of you
I will transcend
that ego that
endangers the ryu
It is so rarely
I leave words
to fly
into the air
with ashes
and smoke
and legacy there
Yes, they will dance
Kata
on my ego
Inside I will smile
and remember
the bond
the truth
found while
sitting on cushions
eye to eye
which gave me new
wings to try
Love present
in the rite
Kami
swirling through
the night
the wind carried
the smoke into
the starlit
sky
without question
of feeling
or wondering why
A koan
to live by
to burn bright
you have given
me a new light
Thank-you
