Kure Coast, Shikoku, Japan

​I stand on the rocky shore.
Waves crash against the cliffs.
The sea stretches endlessly.
Gulls wheel overhead, crying.
Fishing boats bob in the distance.
A lighthouse perches, steadfast.
The salty breeze fills my lungs.
I am small in this vast beauty.
Nature's power humbles me.
I find peace in the solitude.
