Those in the Boat – v2

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!
