Self Defence

With
such
gentle,
slow motion,
the Tai Chi master
shows me the weakness of my strength.
His power is outer softness forged by inner steel:
air-borne but earth-rooted, his body and mind are primed inside a flowing empty shirt.
Ancient wisdom says self defence comes from self knowledge
learnt in martial meditation.
In mastering this
I may find
myself
at
peace.
