Getting Ready to Fly


flying free
i am unsure of where i am
one foot here, the other reaching,
   stretching for places far away
my heart yearning, yet fearful of
   the unknown...
but a baby robin hopped across the
   road last evening
following its mother with unerring
   faith
certain it would find safety and
   nurture wherever she was
and so i follow Mother God wherever
   she is leading me
into the daring unknown with no more
   sense of why than the baby robin
yet believing deeply that safety and
   nurture and purpose will unfold      
as i stretch my fledgling wings and,
   with tentative flapping and hesitant starts,
begin to fly
