One Day

One Day
  
In shadows cast by yesterday’s refrain,  
Where tears like rivers feed the roots of pain,  
I walk a path where sunlight seems to hide,  
With echoes of a laughter long defied.  

The whispers of tomorrow beckon near,  
Yet tremors in my heart drown out the cheer.  
Each step I take, a weight against my soul,  
An endless ache where dreams were meant to stroll.  

But hark! There’s flicker in the pallid mist—  
A ghostly hand that begs to be dismissed.  
It tells of skies where sorrow meets the sun,  
Where battles lost transform into a run.  

One day will come when shadows fold their wings,  
And silence breaks with joy that kindness brings;  
The flowers must push through the velvet dark,  
Resilient blooms that fire the hopeful spark.  

Though moments stretch like shadows on a loom,  
And sorrow paints my soul its deepest gloom,  
There lies within this dire and unforgiving night,  
A chord of courage straining toward the light.  

We walk suspended in this fragile dream—  
Unraveled thoughts unraveling at the seam;  
Yet somewhere deep beneath this heavy shroud,   
Hope flutters softly ‘neath a weeping cloud.  

The dawn will chase away such haunting fears;   
An orchestra of laughter wipes my tears.   
One day I'll stand beneath an open sky,   
And witness joy awaken as I try.    

The stories forged in silence will ignite:   
In jagged edges hidden from our sight—    
For life is but a canvas stretched and drawn,   
Even in darkness waits the shape of dawn.    

A truth that nudges at the edge of night:    
This broken heart still holds its sacred fight;    
One day I’ll rise with wings made from my scars,    
And dance among the echoes of the stars.    

So let me wander through these winding ways,    
With every step I take through foggy haze;    
For there among the ruins built on pain,    
Will bloom a world reborn after the rain.    

On bridges built by dreams we dared not cross—    
We'll find each other woven through our loss;    
Hand in hand we'll face what time has set:    
Together we'll declare we won’t forget!    

For one day life will shimmer fair and bright—    
Transcending realms where sorrow breached its height;    
Let’s pen our tales with ink derived from grace—    
A fellowship of souls finding their place.   

So still within this sorrow's somber song,   
Close your eyes and know it won’t be long;   
One day you’ll see how love can light your way—   
Remember this bright truth: It's One Day!
