When did you write it, and under what circumstances?

Lying in bed, I recall the feeling of walking barefoot on the beach at dusk.

If this poem were turned into a song, what would it sound like?

I'd like to ask Naotaro Moriyama to do it.

“Dear Future Me” is a series in which Shohei Koyama—poet and owner of JIYUCHO — delivers poetic words in Japanese and English, like letters to his future self that trace the subtleties of everyday life. I hope this becomes a place like your mailbox where postcard poems arrive.

Sea Song

Let the sea heal

Let me sing

Bathed in sunlight

Let me sing to you

A hymn for us

with endless worries

Carried by the waves

Let me hum
