RISE SISTER RISE

When your plans and schemes and your hopes

and dreams beg for you to let them go.
Rise sister rise.

When the life you have so consciously

created all comes crumbling down.

Rise sister rise.

When your soul is heavy and your heart broken in two.

Rise sister rise.

When you gave it your best, and it wasn’t quite enough.

Rise sister rise.

When you’ve been beaten and defeated,

and feel so far away from home.

Rise sister rise.

When you find yourself in a thousand pieces,

with no idea which bit goes where.

Rise sister rise.

When you have loved and lost. And then lost again.

Rise sister rise.

When your wings have been clipped, spirit
dampened, and all you hear is a whisper.

Rise sister rise.

When you finally beg mercy to your Calling

but have no idea where to start.

Rise sister rise.

Rise for you. And rise for me.
For when you rise first you make the path brighter for She.

LIGHT IS THE NEW BLACK
