inspired by Waves of Matsushima by Tawaraya Sōtatsu

the waves wrapped around me like fingers

the ones that always pointed out something new

caressing nature in a wave of sound

overwhelming to soft ears

the leaves flutter with the pulse

coming from the slow earth

I want to move with you, earth

for you are full, and I empty

your textures created me

your height inspired me

your depth gave me a place to exist

your detail too immaculate to comprehend

you are the god with no face

emitting baffling complexity

for how long can I sit here in awe?
