Perhaps because I think it is all up to me
I fall down in a helpless lump
Despairing and waiting for the hammer blows.
Is there something learned at an early age
That I didn’t learn:
To have confidence in oneself and God?
But how do I manage now
Without that network of experience
To support my daily efforts?
Each step is an act of faith and surrender
Learning to dance while in free fall
Learning to dance on the wind.
And dance I will
And dance I will
