[bodytext] =>
Met a master,
a living crucible,
making a video.
In detail he fashioned 12 clay
statues that resembled
various birds from owl
to sparrow.
Then he whispered behind each:
"Off you go
up and away!"
Flight they attained
turning mud into
wings flapping,
feathers and chirps.
Hard facts in replay.
He demonstrated the script
where the first line starts:
"In the beginning God created
the heavens and the earth,"
The master then moved
acting out each syllable in gestures
like martial skills,
an earlier branch
of Tai Chi & Yoga
He began to teach that
each thrust applied to every sentence.
Hips undulate as water is stated.
Fists balled at the Apple.
Arms flung hard at Nephilim.
Legs kick with every beget.
A special flip & jump
at Adams funeral
not previously mentioned,
around the time of Noah's birth.
Muscles build in practice
swift and sure footed day after day,
this became a Shen Gong,
Kata or routine.
a way to ease the confusion
of the peoples.
The Old Book had 443,556 positions
The New had 1000 stances
each now accompanied by
the tongue pressed
against the soft palate.
The most intricate:
"In the beginning was the word,"
a wisdom retread
in stumbling force,
contrived to control
large numbers less
standing armies to police,
for sin equals
laws transgressed.
Lastly the format
develops a depth of voice,
any book will suffice
to inspire
the spirit,
in flesh to groom
becoming Light,
graced in action,
renewed with
precision & sweat

I love the power we bestow upon myths of orgin through ritual...though, I cannot claim myself well versed in the schools of thought &/or philosophys behind the, Martial Arts...I can, however, say that this felt good!
Greatly Expressive!!!

Right on! This flowed so well it was amazing. The best part for me:
"Hips undulate as water is stated.
Fists balled at the Apple.
Arms flung hard at Nephilim.
Legs kick with every beget.
A special flip & jump
at Adams funeral
not previously mentioned,
around the time of Noah's birth."
This part made me feel like I was being let in on a secret, something special and unknown to the masses.

A lovely write and presentation which i related to at once . I to engaged in the martial arts in a younger day so i especially enjoyed this, In the style i took i practiced a form of moving zen called " Sanchin " it's been years now since i've done it but i apply it still mentaly to my major forte in life that of my family and of course my music which i've done ever since i was ten years old, writting and arranging music and playing the piano and the guitar. Nicely done this poem.
thank you also for your readership and comment.

This is the first poem I have ever read about martial arts and it captures the essence of what mastering any of them trys to achieve; serenity, understanding, strentgh, and peace with evrything. Ive studied Wing Chun a little bit and loved evry second of it, still practice the first Silum Dow (not how its spelled but how its pronounced), the equivelant to Katas or shen gong, and they do exactly that, ease confusion. Loved this one especially! Thanks again for posting!
