Someday, when this is over

Someday, 

when this is over...

My heart whispers

I will walk free

And stand taller

breathe easy

and smile more

laugh a lot

hug sisters

and paint with children

Giggle for no reason at all

watch the sunrise
blow bubbles
make rainbows with the garden hose

Because from

That Rashmi of the dawn

comes

the courage to break this silence

When this is over

I shall start again

I will once again 

walk with you
