| Michiru | 
| In every swell of the sea, you are there. | 
| In every rise, every fall, | 
| In every surge of salty water against a ragged shoreline, | 
| Your liquid grace and cool disposition are there. | 
| Soundless and agile, | 
| Undulating, | 
| With your warm and cold patches, | 
| Your currents flowing so evenly to one destination. | 
| And at night, | 
| When tart breezes ripple your surface, | 
| I can see the moon reflecting off of your glassy being, | 
| Like a mirror. | 
| And she stays there, in your arms, until the sun washes her away again |
