Their hearts beating, pulse racing, plams sweating.
The clash of steel on stell shatters silence.
Quickly, a parry, block, sidestep, they ring
A barbaric cry to the heavens, with
The furies of a thousand samurai;
Hellfires blazing with each deafened slash
While ancestors watch over their sons high,
The warriors of honor, actions rash.
In bushido they fight, for a future
Afterlife of which honor envelops,
But in seppuku they fall, victims to
A dishonor, cured only by their death.
What honor is there to gain while slaying
Fellow kin? A path of death beginning.

I love it, the visual depiction that Irish-Wasabi mentioned holds true for me as well, and I like how you put it all together. great job.
To FancyDancer
Yes and no, FancyDancer. Bushido had seven Virtues which anyone can read. I like to believe that how a Samurai asserted Bushido in his life is how he was defined. Anyone can know the path, but to walk it and carry yourself in every manner of the word, I think that was the greatest feat a Samurai could achieve.
