Moving from heaven to earth a new art is born,
Aikido.
The royal bridge to enlightenment
finds its way to earth.
Practice, Practice, Practice
our souls need cleansing.
Letting go of our clutter we become lighter,
moving with ease.
We become
Aikidoist.
We let the golden dust of heaven
settle in our bones.
Love settles
kindness settles
breath settles
feet settle.
We touch the earth
Ah- everything is perfect.
Harmony settles.
