🌾💧Susukis: “A Guide for the Wind”

by Aqua

① The Beginning of Fall
Plop…

Susuki is
a plant that gently sways along the path where the autumn wind blows—
it’s like a guide for the wind.

② Silver Plumes
When the slender plumes catch the light,
they glisten silver in an instant.
At dusk,
it’s as if they’re gathering the moonlight.

③ Swaying in a Group
You know,
susuki is most beautiful when it sways in a group.
Every time the wind blows,
rustle…
You can hear the voice of autumn.

④ Seasons and Daily Life
On moon-viewing nights, it stands alongside the moon,
and has watched over people’s lives since ancient times.

Susuki is
a plant that connects the seasons and people.

⑤ Moonlit Night and a Kaleidoscope
The silvery plumes
are gently brushed by the wind’s touch.
I shake the dewdrop and say,
“Susuki is
a plant that tells the story of the seasons in the wind.”
Plop…💧🌙
