Wake up!
Get out of bed!
Throw the shutters open
Wide!
Hell, shatter them!
Smash the hinges!
Laugh
While the shutters explode and fall
In pieces
Slow motion to the ground
Throw your arms wide open too
To the sun
To the wind
To the rain
To the lightning and thunder
To the sleet and snow
Accept it all
Feel the blastfurnace heat
Feel the icicle cold
Let them touch your open heart
Do not draw the world into your soul
Thrust your soul into the world
To fly
To ride upon currents of clear air
To soar among soft clouds
And rise
Laughing and weeping
Like the sun
Rising lovingly
Over green mountains
What was it you were protecting
With those locked doors?
Can you even remember?
They were locked so long ago
By degrees
Until you forgot
The smell of rain
The feel of wet grass under bare feet
The warm taste of a kiss
Wake up!
