MY RISING
Like the Morning Sun
Bright and early
Wasting no time, waiting no more
I rise
*
Like a Phoenix
Avian legend steeped in magic
Rebirth brand new
I rise
*
Like a Buoy
Anchored to the depth of deep dark seas
Afloat even in swaying billows
I rise high up in the waters
To help strays in ships sinking
Find shore
*
Like a Slithering Serpent
I shed pain
Holding venom in fangs bared
Ready to spring
*
Fiercely burning like the Fiery Sun
I will warm the Hearts of those charcoaled in state
Shooting up like Discorea sprouts
Out of the blackened rich Earth
Spreading tendrils gentle to soak the Suns’ never ending warmth
*
I rise not to hold back
No more to be bound
Shackles on the trail
Falling off my Feet
I rise
*
Leaps of boundless joys
Springboks in the Seregenti
A pride is born
Now the Lions roar
We’ll Rise.
