In Three Steps Repeated

In three steps repeated I can

Demonstrate how much it meant

When you folded the world into my palm

Though my wrists were too thin

To do more than tie the string

Holding this fragile planet together

Like a tightrope we balance together

One foot in front of the other

Carefully choreographed dancers

On God's Straight Path

By the time the sun rose red glowing

Painting the window a gossamer coat

Reinvested by sunshine's presence

I was still asleep in the corner we found

In the room unfolded on the carpet spread

Before the King, like a cat curled up

Comfortable in Your Presence,

In that red sunbeam of dawn

The walls in my heart swelling

Sunlight glowing through the cracks

Of cobblestone slabs centuries old

These memories of life and living

Are so wonderfully strange and new

As if I had never before seen

These happy guests arriving at my door
