  1. The sun rose out of the ocean, for a new day. A new beginning, a fresh start. It was born again. Ive always said I want to be just like the moon, peaceful and serene. But today is my chance to shine like the sun.

    Taryn
  2. rise up. raise your voice from your seat to the sun. watch it rise. we fall only to rise. Because true character true strength is saying “I rise above it”

    Xavier
  3. she rose from the sea. dripping in foam and seaweed. her kingdom perishing beneath the sea. she was the first to brave the land. others waited, breath held, behind her in the sea. as she rises, her hair goes slack; she stops. “This was a mistake.” Her last thought as her legs fail and the sea claims their queen.

  4. up came the sun like it always does shooting orange pink and yellow light across the bluegrey pavement like some sort of ribbon

  5. rise to the occasion, rise to your potential. rising isn’t something that just happens, it’s a choice that you have to make. it is a loaded word, filled with potential, but requires you to take the first step. to rise.

  6. baking bread sun warmth heat floating flying sky tinted yellow with the buttery soft summer

  7. the sun came up and it was a dawn sort of day. that kind of day that you just know has potential for good things. I wonder who i’ll meet. A man in a coffee shop, piercings and muscle covered with some skin. A woman at the grocery market, who just turned 90. How many people live in this churning learning town. And then they sleep again.

  8. At the rise of the sun the army marched forward to its impending doom, knowing they would not last the day. As the onslaught of creatures charged their battle lines they fell one by one into the pages of history.

  9. above the rest.

  10. “Rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise, rise… DAMMIT RISE!”

    But the anchor just fell further into the deep taking her with it.

  11. To go up, off the ground, and rise into the air seems like the stuff of fairy tales.
    And yet, many of us despise having to go so high up in the air, flying in crowded airplanes, being afraid of heights, and yet, the bird’s ability to rise up and fly seems so…magical.
    What are we…complex humans, or just contradicting ourselves?

  12. Woke up, i watched the sunrise.

    Too bright. As always. It’s amazing how you can stare at the damned sun for two hours as it flies through the sky and it is ALWAYS too bright.

    Girly called from her room. I walked towards the hall.

    Joshua Stoenburner
  13. The rise of the heart shadows the encroaching storm from beyond the hollows of the crown. Therein lies the pattern and pillow; the sword and mace; the silk and poison.

    Kendrick Ong
  14. I saw the sun rising from the sea and I thought: Why am I here?
    Still sleepy.

  15. Rise and Shine Love of mine! I have the greatest girlfriend ANYONE could ever dream of obtaining… She’s beyond loving; she’s intelligent, she’s loyal, she’s compassionate, she’s beautiful, she is my EVERYTHING!!!! Everything I ever do can be linked back to her because she makes me want to get up in the morning, she has taught me what love really is, she is always behind me no matter what situation we are getting into. I LOVE HER!!!

  16. i struggle to rise out of bed in the morning. i fight falling into bed at night. my eyes are heavy and my dreams are few. so young. so exhausted.

  17. I believe you have to rise to the expectations others have of you- rise and exceed. Rise when the time is right, not when the timing is easy. Rise so high and confidently, that the obstacles in your way are hundreds of feet beneath you. Merely specks of sand in a world you can fully conquer and change. Rise and never look down.

  18. it is an order to ascend from a seated or horizontal position and assume a ready stance.

    yeast. sunshine. bodies out of bed.

  19. I think of the sun rising in the east. How it does so day by day, and how I rise in the morning to its light, peeking through the window curtain. I’ve never watched a sunrise, but it is something I would like to do one day. I think it must be beautiful, I imagine light slowly trickling over the world and the sky gradually moving from black to a dusky gray to a dark blue and then slowly lightening to the shade that we see in the day time.

  20. Time to rise from the ashes
    Little phoenix
    Fly up
    Up
    Fly away
    It’s your time to shine
    You’ve made it through the darkness
    You’re safe now
    You’re rising up from the past.
    You’re rising above old obstacles
    You’ve done it little phoenix.

  21. the rise of the sun in the early morning. just after dawn! it is when life begis for some people, for others its the time when they have their deepest dream. and other simply, never wake up.

    Debora
  22. A haze of stardust in your eyes, precious little prancer. Clouds swirl and populate this dream with poufs of scented smoke. Lavender and sandal wood suns take and leave life. The tide stretches and retracts over the sand, over your stomach. Bandy legs dangling off the side of the bed. Awake, precious dancer. Open your hazy eyes.

  23. As all the men rose from their deep slumber, the political viewers of this united waste of land realised that their world dominating plan would fail. The rise was one of the most vicious and weird assault made on society, none to survive, none to remember!

    Alex
  24. And up above the buildings, the evening sun beating down on the harsh sky scrapers, I watch the shadows climb up the walls. Inch by inch, filling in all the little gaps of the window sills. Promising something. Inevitable.

  25. the corners of your mouth rise when you smile, and birds rise as they fly up into the clouds. warm bread rises in the oven, so do cupcakes yum yum. Christians think christ was risen, and hot air rises too, maybe theres a link there ;)

    Laura
  26. rise is a stupid overrated sentimental feeling of lifting spiritually & doing good & all that crap, but what is being risen against? always something on the opposite end, newtonian existence, reciprocation….to rise is to kick awaY, NOT SUCH A SOFT SENTIMENT NOW

    FERTY KOOH
  27. as i rise up from the night’s sleep i see that you have not been home yet
    surprised? maybe or maybe not
    confused?
    bewildered?
    betrayed?
    all these emotions never to rise again in my heart and mind

  28. it’s mornng and the sun rises and i rise, we rise together,up we get, to start the day, to rise higher and higher in the sky, and then gradyally the shadows lengthen, we start to decline, we start to get lower in the sky, lower and lower and then – the rising is over – until the next day, until the next day – god have i still got time left, ok, let;s think, i am looking up to the stRS AT NIGHT AND I REACH UP, My arms lengthen, and i grasp 2 stars and start to pull ysel fup, up and up, i.nm rising into the spaces between the stars now, higher and higher until the word ‘high’ is menaingless, i’m out there in the vast vacancy of space.

  29. rise above it all.
    be what you wish the world was.
    rise in the morning bright like the sun. and never let alcohol touch your lips, for it will steal your light.
    rise and run. run off your worries.
    rise and believe. give faith to those that watch you.

  30. The rise of the Independent League was nothing short of awe-inspiring. It lasted all of six days, but in that time, they made some major waves. And they did it with almost zero bloodshed.

    Raymond Masters
  31. You can rise every time, but you have to work hard for it… it is spmething everyone want and not everyone get… some people think they don`t need it, but they still need it. R stands for rise. good!

  32. upp upp uppp to the sky I rise and fly and then down again I see you fall, and I fall with you.

    once again we rise.

    as long as I am with you, it’s fine.

  33. I will rise with the morning sun, awakening from that dreamlike state. That state where anything can happen, even the impossible. Only, I’m awakening from a nightmare. My escape becomes the bad guy, and only light can save me. And so I rise, ready to battle off any dinner-plate sized spiders that take over my living room.

  34. rise against. rise against the pressure. rise above those around you. believe in yourself, believe you can conquer anything. rise to the level in which you deserve, to what you know you are capable of. rise to the extreme, believe in what you do and you can do anything.

  35. Knock. The old lady rose from the bed and it gave a shudder on its steel frame. It wasn’t her bed, but that hardly seemed sin enough to be woken up by such a horrid knock. It wasn’t a polite tap of a knock, but an angry knock like a policeman on TV thudding on a criminal’s apartment door. It wasn’t the kind of knock you heard in Sherwood; that’s why she was there.

  36. It’s time for me to rise out of the grave I was digging for myself.

    It’s time to wake up.

    There is a hurting world out there.

    It’s time for me to leave behind comfort.

  37. arise is one of my favorite songs by flyleaf and the word rise of course reminds me of arise. and to rise is sometimes to be more than you thought you ever could be(if that makes sense). and rise could also be to fly because you know rising high or something.

  38. rise up out of the ashes, a new day is born. start over. you may not get far, but you have no idea how far you’ll get until you rise up. rise up! emerge from the abyss, ascend out of the volcano, come up from the garden bed bloom in the morning hooray it’s time to get up!

  39. Age 9 I memorized the lyrics to GREASE out of a photographic novel with cartoon captions retelling the movie scene by scene. In the Greased Lightning scene someone mentions “getting a rise out of your levi’s”. I had no idea what they were talking about but I liked the rhyme a lot and ran around saying it often.

  40. I will rise to the occasion and write something absolutely breath-taking in this short, one minute span of time.

    Or not.
