+--------A Toast On High Seas Of A Fate Unknown; Saint Paul's Words To His Fellow Prisoners
Sailing To Rome In Chains"
276 pariahs tottering in a creaking
hull on waves enchained, sharing
wrist shackles of a destiny shrouded,
snared birds stirred by haunting
crescendos of Caesar’s furtive hunter
-steps nearing. And we cant interpret
our centurion’s gaze, whether
he’s privy to our own death penalty,
pardon, or flogging. None can probe
the Empire-mind of Rome’s obscurity.
But let us seek comfort, company
in meat – to break bread and eat as
familiar men. We thank God for our
nows dismissing unknowns…whatever
may befall us next. For- we have
life and we have each other.
------Acts 27:29-38
Then fearing lest we should have fallen upon rocks, they cast four anchors out of the stern, and wished for the day. And as the shipmen were about to flee out of the ship, when they had let down the boat into the sea, under colour as though they would have cast anchors out of the foreship, Paul said to the centurion and to the soldiers, Except these abide in the ship, ye cannot be saved. Then the soldiers cut off the ropes of the boat, and let her fall off. And while the day was coming on, Paul besought them all to take meat, saying, This day is the fourteenth day that ye have tarried and continued fasting, having taken nothing. Wherefore I pray you to take some meat: for this is for your health: for there shall not an hair fall from the head of any of you. And when he had thus spoken, he took bread, and gave thanks to God in presence of them all: and when he had broken it, he began to eat. Then were they all of good cheer, and they also took some meat. And we were in all in the ship two hundred threescore and sixteen souls. And when they had eaten enough, they lightened the ship, and cast out the wheat into the sea.
