mount fuji

i am blessed by the sight of you my dear, 

observant of you in your elegance at its fullest,

through sakura dapples and a sky far and clear,

the sun’s radiance and passing tourists…

your tranquility and soft presence, a sleeping

beauty extravagant in her delicate form, 

loyal to the secrets under her tongue she’s keeping.

bathe me in bliss of the upcoming storm

your glistening peaks decieve me beyond

my long lost senses and good will.

because of you, i shall always be fond

of the way you make the world feel so still.

familiarity, i know i’ve experienced you before

as for the uncertainty - i’ll remain oblivious, so spew

your ghastly core and announce an unspoken war

between man and nature… but i’ll still adore you.
