"I Step Out"

by Heather Coe


I step out and look upon a
whirlwind of things undone

To which my knowledge sees no end
and to my thoughts see no beginning
I jump to fly

and soar with great wings of anticipation
I ask Him questions

which he does not think to answer
until we stop and the whole earth

rests in my palm
I ask Him why

He raises his arms while the world
falls from my hand

I start crying but He stops to
hold me and says
Because I love you
