THE ELEMENT OF SURPRISE

I stand alone
On the banks
Of a
Once forgotten
Paradise
I am
In my
Martial arts stance
My form
Is flawless
A sequence
Of perfection
I close my
Eyes
And I take
A deep breath
The last
Thing I remember
Is the shimmer
Of the crystal
Blue sea
That mirrors
The sky
The time to strike
Has not yet come
So I exhale
The purified
Essence
Of the sea
As it
Unfells my
Lungs
I can feel
The warm sand
Underneath my
Feet
I have planted
Myself
Into the earth
I can feel
Her energy
And life
Force
Begin to
Course
Through my veins
The moment
To strike
Has not come
But
The time
To embrace
Life
Has just
Arrived
I am
Completely in
Aww
That my
Presence has been
Disturbed
Because right now
I am basking
In this moment
This energy
Is positive
Nowhere near
Negative
 I am
Enlightened
My form
Is flawless
And

The time to strike
Has not yet
Come
