There is no swagger
in the Japanese walk
There is humility in
the Japanese bow
There is art in everything
The food they eat
The tea they drink
The Kimono they wear
The Japanese lifestyle
is never rowdy and bawdy
Its love for the wonders of nature,
the center of its architecture
Disciplined in every way
Cleanliness is a virtue
His manner, measured
in its countenance
A Haiku of his feelings
and emotions
Where honor is valued
above life
A life pruned by experience,
an art in itself
Like a bonsai tree,
elegant in its bareness.
*Japanesense is my take of the Japanese lifestyle and culture. The things that they do makes a lot of sense. Coined from two words Japanese and Sense.
