The
sea was a sheet of glass,
no
wind offering even a tiny wave,
or
a small whiteness riding a swell.
Was
this the Sea of Galilee before
the
storm, before Jesus slept
in
the boat, before John baptized,
before
Peter walked, and Lazarus
rose,
and the young girl lived,
and
the woman drew the water
from
the well?

Maybe it was.

held deathly still
before the wind
before the word stepped in
Lovely, lovely poem.
