Eyes open to yellow dawn
Words uncoil, strength summoned
To utter reclamation, land, sea, air and sky
All splendors of heaven and earth
Keeper's tongue refutes
A churning unheard refrain
Up from the bed, awash in blood
Up stairs of stone into light of day
Wailing from below, pealing out
Dissolves in warmth of dust and sun
Arms reach, hands grasp
Lungs fill, open eyes
Awake, rejoice, body reclaimed
Spirit carried by starlit waves in heaven’s hands
