FREEDOM

todd johnston

Up and down, with or without
peace or worry, struggle and doubt,
no meaning within what reality holds

Fear and courage, apathy or concern,
burden or release, tomorrow and next week,
no bearing changed seen always as been seen

satisfied and searching, filled or empty,
exertion or sloth, perfectly planned sometimes random chaos,
constantly at a cost, known to be who I am

forgotten and remembered, heathen or saint,
bygone or future, strong or faint
apparent circumstance with no undermine
given me constant that which continues, as always,
to remain only as been made way for in Him.
