One Day I May

I hope that one day I may experience the freedom that a bird does.

I hope that one day I may come and go, coast and drift, place to place, as I see fit.

I hope that one day I may soar above others to achieve greater heights, and higher greatness.

I hope that one day I may open the door of this cage and spread my wings; to no longer be strangled by these bars that have become my days.

I hope that one day I may breathe easy and revel in the brilliance of all of nature and not fret about the trials of tomorrow.

I hope that one day I may be passing by and look down upon all that is, and merely keep going, indifferent to the boundaries and restrictions of life.

I hope that one day I may not wake up and realize that this is merely a fantasy. That what today I may call aspirations, will tomorrow be a fading dream, and that I will be left scrambling to collect the feathers it has left me with.
