Fall and Rise

Fall and Rise

Now that I'm up here
it is not the sharp piercing wind that I lengthily have to feel
it is not the stinging and slicing one from which I lengthily have to hide myself from

Now that I'm up here
it is the soft breezing wind that I momentarily can feel
it is the coddling and caressing one from which I momentarily can take pleasure from

With steady and stiff closed legs but shaky and slack opened arms
Looking at this wind that I used to hate but love so much now
Looking at this life that I used to love but hate so much now

Fall down! Fall down!
and do not be afraid of what will happen to you
whispers it silently into my ears 

Fall down! Fall down!
and do not worry about where you will end up
whispers it clearly into my mind

Fall down! Fall down!
and do not think to whom this will affect
whispers it vigorously into my heart

Fall down so you can rise up!
