Wake up,
feel the warmth of the sun,
searching to lift you up.

Smile,
the lady is smiling at you,
for no reason.

Look,
the boy is waving at you,
every day.

Get out,
sense the silence of the trees
and their dew-wet smell.

Gaze,
the pink and purple flowers are blooming
and they are wishing you well.

Step in,
the sea waves are washing
your feet away.

You will know,
you will eventually know,
my dear,
that they will keep you going,
despite your fear,
despite you not wanting to-
not wanting to wake up,
for another single day.

Wake up.
