FOSSE

the sky is raising

Miso soup at breakfast and soupe à l'oignon at dinner. Two worlds coincide in your life but you always walk the middle line, a fine balance. Yet, there has always been an unexplainable magnetic pull towards your mother's side. [break][break]

You find yourself pulling her books down from the shelves and staring at unreadable strokes. [break][break]

Your mother pulls you onto her lap, smile on her lips. "Do you want to learn how to read?" she asks. [break][break]

You nod. [break][break]

It's a surprise to you both how easy you pick up your mother's native tongue.

the tides of the beautiful ocean

You look in the mirror and there are two things you see:[break][break]

(1) there's nothing about you that stands out—a by-passer in a crowd, just another boy [break]
(2) there's a sense of justice swimming in your eyes it reminds you of the path you have chosen[break][break]

But what people don't see are the dreams you have. There's always water, there's always rain; it's an eternal spring and you feel the rumble of a beast as it roars like a thunderstorm. [break][break]

Maybe you're just crazy, but your dreams make you go back to one of your mother's books again and again as you grow up. It's a Japanese book that tells of the four sacred beast in East Asian legends. Suzaku, Byakko, Genbu, and Seiryuu. [break][break]

Seiryuu.[break][break]

You trace the printed name with your finger and let it roll off your tongue. Familiar, a feeling of wholeness. [break][break]

The blue dragon of the east, the symbol of spring. [break][break]

Something in you cries and water at your fingertips ripples. [break][break]

And one day you realize just how abnormal you really are when you stare in disbelief at the power you accidentally unleashed.[break][break][break]
