Questions

After John 7:1-31 

Questions swirl,

a growing storm

as yet marked

only by clouds,

darkening, Already

some seek his life,

this threat to order,

this rabblerouser 

threatening to bring

down wrath.

Where is he, they ask.

Who is he, they ask.

Is he the one, they ask.

Who seeks to kill you,

they ask. The questions

rage, as if ocean

waves fight against

each other, ebbing and

flowing, cascading and

retreating, the crowd 

a raging sea of questions.

The answers are the same,

for now: his time has not

yet come. And the storm 

subsides.
