having been told

what to think

I want to wonder

to consider whether

the exception proves

a particular rule

or whether it may display

the need for a bigger ruler

who loves a nice mud puddle

having been told

where I may go

I want to wander

to discover whether

the proscription is

a universal prescription

or whether the instruction

to love is enough

having been told

what to do

I just want to rest in You,

for You are

wild enough to shock me,

small enough to humble me,

strong enough to lock me

in Your care that frees me,

You enough to let me be

me enough to be nobody but

just myself with You—

the One who just wants to be with me

in the mud puddle

where our playful love is enough
