As winds blowing through
Unless I am a mind's thought
How can I exist
For where would a flower's sweet beauty be, without me to see
Of course then, as also I think
Where would sweet me be without
Flower's sweet beauty to see
Could also so easily say
Where would sweet me be without
All your sweet beauty to see

From Wikipedia - Waka. Waka, Japanese poetry, specifically the court poetry of the 6th to the 14th century, including such forms as the chōka and sedōka, in contrast to such later forms as renga, haikai, and haiku. The term waka also is used, however, as a synonym for tanka (“short poem”), which is the basic form of Japanese poetry.
