One Day

One day,
I will drop my halo just to hold a single flower.

One day,
I will become a super moon and explain love to a baby.

One day,
my bed will turn into a beautiful opera.

One day,
I will understand that something must always sink
before it can rise again.

One day,
I’ll learn to move gently with the changes in the ocean —
because one day,
they will float with me.

And maybe one day,
there might be no ocean at all.
