You are the Earth, Yours are the Tides

You? You are the Earth, A precious blue-green jewel traversing the velvet of space. And I? I am your satellite, The Moon, eternally caught in your gravity, Only shining my brightest in Earth’s darkest hours. Elusive…ephemeral…but I swear not inconstant… Just terribly, painfully shy.

And though you cannot see me—just for now– Like the Moon on the Ocean’s tides, I know I have some effect upon you. I take delight in this—again, just for now. But, oh how I look forward to when you’ll come to take me! Take me when the Moon is full. Take me in the fullness of time. Take me fully, as none has done before.

Your waters will capture my reflected light. I will sparkle upon your ripples and swells. But bear patience with me till that fullness of time, And I will give all that I am to thee.

Sakura by Yasu Matsuoka of YASU ART STUDIO

“In Spring in Japan, cherry blossom trees are in bloom for about two weeks. During this very short period of time, Japanese people enjoy the traditional activity called hanami, which can be literally translated as “viewing the flowers.”

During ancient times in Japan, the New Year was in spring, and the blooming cherry blossoms marked the beginning of the spring planting season. From this, the Japanese believed there was a relation between the flower and the rice paddy god. In Japanese, the cherry blossom is called sakura. Originally, sa referred to the rice paddy god, and the word kura meant “a seat for god,” and sakura could be understood as “a sacred place for the rice paddy god to dwell.”"
