Calm seas for a day and a half
have turned rough without giving me notice.
How must I prepare?
I have no choice but to ride the storm.
Rising, falling, and rising enough times will make me strong.
How do I know this?
This isn’t the first time, now is it?
Once strong, I could move as the wind, free forever.
