When the rising sun
pierces the hazy morning,
why must we rise to meet it?
~
To rise or not to
rise? If that’s the question, I’ll
have to go with rise.

In early morning,
when the bed’s summons beckons,
is it pointless to resist?
~
To such a question
I can ask an equally
pointed one, “Why do you ask?”
When the wind rises
and storm warnings are posted,
must we all seek safe harbor?

Prudence is itself
an act of valor often
underrated and unsung.
When considering,
the coming of tides rising,
will all our boats be lifted?

As tides continue
to rise, it might be better
to seek higher ground.
