“The Samurai always has to rise and move on, because new challenges will come.”
- Lyoto Machida
The Samurai with a mission,
Never stops moving forward.
The Samurai with an objective in mind,
Overcomes obstacles of every kind.
When a Samurai enters a desert,
He maintains his mental peace and calm.
He will manage his body and his resources well,
Every air of breath is precious, as you can tell.
The Samurai in the desert will not stop,
He will always keep moving forward.
Following his Master’s order is paramount.
Reaching his destination is his great reward.
A writer who has literary words as his mission,
Needs no approval or any official permission.
He or she writes every day and in all weather.
The writer’s mind is as light as a celestial feather.
The writer with the soul of a Samurai,
Will write about everything beneath the sky.
The writer who faces challenges every day,
Will keep writing words every single day.
The writer with the heart of a Samurai,
Will always have something valuable to say.
Every work that a samurai writer reveals,
Has buried wisdom and truths it conceals.
