+-----Elemental Kingdoms; The Thoughts Of Peter Before Walking To Jesus On The Water
The Greeks swear Poseidon
is, when sailing, among us
always. Beneath us his trident
a vanquisher of worlds, ships, men
when its butt slammed against
the sea’s bed impassioned. As
he nears: wind gusts vehement, waves
turbulent, erratic – Cain angst-ridden
contemplating the slaughter of
Abel the night before. A soul snared
by hatred. If you really are God, tell
him to stand down…humbled. Let me,
like you, walk on water, his kingdom,
as dry land tamed, as though Mt Olympus,
the Greeks, Caesar, Rome
were now to Hebrews beholden.
------Matthew 14:22-33
Immediately Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead of him to the other side, while he dismissed the crowd. After he had dismissed them, he went up on a mountainside by himself to pray. Later that night, he was there alone, and the boat was already a considerable distance from land, buffeted by the waves because the wind was against it. Shortly before dawn Jesus went out to them, walking on the lake. When the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified. “It’s a ghost,” they said, and cried out in fear. But Jesus immediately said to them: “Take courage! It is I. Don’t be afraid.” “Lord, if it’s you,” Peter replied, “tell me to come to you on the water.” “Come,” he said. Then Peter got down out of the boat, walked on the water and came toward Jesus. But when he saw the wind, he was afraid and, beginning to sink, cried out, “Lord, save me!” Immediately Jesus reached out his hand and caught him. “You of little faith,” he said, “why did you doubt?” And when they climbed into the boat, the wind died down. Then those who were in the boat worshiped him, saying, “Truly you are the Son of God.”
