Close your eyes <br />Inhale <br />imagine your lungs <br />filling with life giving air <br />As everything in life <br />is a piece of you <br />and you of it. <br />Nothing exists <br />but the form... <br />Kata. <br />So practiced, <br />so perfect <br />and falls together <br />as it's meant to be, <br />Naturally. <br />Find the power <br />from within <br />the natural flow of your movement <br />Find the force <br />of every kiai <br />begining in your solar plexus <br />So strong <br />Imagine every measured step <br />breath <br />and counter <br />as your enemies <br />fall at your precision. <br /> <br />Let the sensei <br />Show you how it's done, <br />for it is him <br />you will need to emulate <br />to be the perfect warrior... <br />for it is the sensei <br />who will teach you <br />how to master your life... <br /> <br />It is the sensei <br />who will teach you form, <br />control <br />discipline <br />respect... <br />Kata. <br /> <br /> <br />For my sensei, <br />My teacher, <br />My father, <br />Lou Stanishia<br /><br />Lee Degnan<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/kata/
