What Is Living

What is living? It is when you can do whatever Say whatever and are not afraid of consequences If you are afraid you are not living Why is the world not living? Because we are bound by fear By the unknowns Why do we have that fear? Who placed it in us? We'd never know But one thing is certain We are not free until we are free from that Is it called our limitation? No Is it our impediment? Who impedes you? Is it called...? You can sit here all night and think what it is called But what you need to do is live And you can't live until He wants you to live So what is the deal? You can't do anything until He wants you to do Isn't that the irony of it all? I am so far out That I don't know what to say about it Except - take heart It will come with time God will do what He wants to do But you always reap the benefits of it He will do in you and you and whoever down the road But He never stops doing And you never stop asking Or do you? You will know One day
