I feed
From the seas around me
Drink from the rain drops in rivers
And farm the land
Yet
I fear being drowned
By that which gives me life in Japan..
And the earth cracks
Beneath oceans on tectonic plates
Like two bulls, in head butt, red rage
Repels of energy, they send waves on stampede
My hakama cloths torn by the forces
Comfort challenged by nature , and it rains
My land lay cracked and desolate
My soul in rage, my terra firma, burns
Still not long after I pray in clamminess
The heavens will cry on me
To quench the thirst, I need its tears
I look to embrace the seas, the land, nature
Just so I can feed
The dependants of my soil
This is my understanding with nature
