The Aspiration

When I was young, I wished for a moment
Longed for the day I could fight on my own
Reliance upon myself, and no one else
To hold a power in my hands and
Shout to the amber sky:
"Look! I am a man!"
When I was young, I hoped for a time
When I could stand upon the mountaintop,
Look down to the land
Glistening with water and life,
And whisper to the wind:
"Look! I am a man!"
When I was young, I dreamed of a day
That I could feel in my heart
A purpose, a friendship, a kin
A lost treasure recovered from the past
The voice of my soul crying:
"Look! I am a man!"
When I was young, the hour came
I felt the power of hope and triumph in my hands
A sword, gleaming in the sunlight
Diamond dust sparkling
I felt the quivering of the steel and said:
"Look! I am a man!"
