frightened by a storm

standing in the boat
while Jesus was with them
not at peace, calm
mirroring the storm
captured by the waves
the roar of the wind around them
buffeted, tossed about
frightened by  a storm
not trusting in Jesus
needing to wake him
for proof of his power
needing him to calm
the waters, the storm
still confused, arguing
the nature of Jesus
powerful enough
to calm the storm
to still the rolling sea
