Before their shouts of
praise
confession, He was the Son
of God,
What were they thinking,
those in the boat?
Christ’s disciples gripped
by the wind, fear, huddled
in the rocking boat,
buffeted by the wind, the seas
a ghost walking, coming
toward them on the waves
Peter climbing, stepping out
of the boat
walking away, out onto the
sea;
Sinking, falling, into the
waves
Pulled up, walking again,
with the Lord;
back to the boat, walking on
water.
What must they have thought,
those huddled, sitting in
the boat!
