rise again, nod to me, shout !

there comes a time where we must
wash the gum from our eyes
and dress ourselves for the dazzle of the light.

long have you timidly waded
holding a plank by the shore
now i will you to be a bold swimmer
to jump off into the midst of the sea
rise again, nod to me, shout !

and laughingly dash with your hair.
