 Soft waves of a forgotten dawn

Finding magic by the sea, some place far off;
Just below the Great Wall of Beijing. This adventure.
finds one in the shadows of the Samurai between
Twelve Swords: Known as the Deviant Blades  
Shikizaki, Kiki, a brilliant master swordsmith and 
Soothsayer, anime piqued our curiosity. During the Sengoku period, 1467-2615.
Of the civil war. 

Brings us to Tsukiji, a famous place in Tokyo
Japan is a primary large fish market.
The taste for fresh seafood and its shops, restaurants,
was a traveler’s sashimi dreamscape.
We relished the experience that once thrived.

Our desire for more of its surroundings, where we
found ourselves headed toward the Kabuki, a classic
Japanese theatre, renowned for its elaborate costumes,
Movement and dramatic storylines. Expectations were high.
Filled with unforgettable emotions.
That brings life and art into a world of endless
Pink cherry blossom sakura trees, beauty and renewal.

Our time afforded us a trip to see the oldest Buddhist temple
Sensoji Kannon, the goddess of mercy.
Such discipline during the period of civil unrest.
Zen Buddhism for meditation, mindfulness, and atmosphere.
Let us not forget Kyoto, a rich historical and cultural Japan.
The imperial capital for over a thousand years was a must-see.

Then, the rain introduced us to the lenticular clouds over
Mount Fuji is breathtaking.
A rising from this spell, yearning toward life.
Style, subtle, sublime; this hidden oasis of a golden
Dawn, as one not forgotten, still exists.
In between days, moments, connected to its millennium.
One must always remember its historical events.
The atomic bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki.
They rebuilt, soft waves of a forgotten dawn.
