Rise You Must Rise My Friend

you have fallen
and now enjoy the only possibility
you must have
you rise
like a bubble from the breath
of the fish in the sea
to the air and sky
to the sun
do not shrink like a melted candle
in winter time
enjoy the cycle of this life
when you're down
you have no choice but to go
up.
