Rise.

I rise with the sun the moon and the stars with my lover before he gets out of bed and with the heartbeat that increases when our bodies entwine. I rise like fear in the child filled with wonderment and I rise like the tides, always aiming for the shore. I rise like the fists of rebellion and like the hope of the people. I rise.
