One Day

One day,
I will be free.
One day, 
I will run and dance,
kick off the heavy dust of the past
and fly...
One day,
I will sing and shout,
throw off the shackles of silence
and cry...
One day,
my soaring, singing soul
will expand to the sunbeam-sparkled,
moonbeam-mothered elements
and fill the dawn-drenched sky.
One day -
one day and every day, 
I vow:
One day is Now.
