+------Sons Of Thunder; The Call Of James and John

When you two were born,
I saw Job’s lips quiver in a vision.
Heard the roar of swells
of seismic tidal waves;
Leviathan snarling with
a sly wink of confraternity.
Your mother told me during
birthing she was unnerved,
of the smoke in your eyes, your skin
impervious like hide, rugged, leather.
(Dark clouds above and heavy rain
pelting the stucco roof of the midwife’s
house). And I know you two’d burn
down the world for me, you’d storm
Heaven, steal Michael’s sword to
secure thrones that flank mine. When
you speak: the peals of Thunder's
sons. James, John…come follow me.


------Mark 3:13-19
And He went up on the mountain and called to Him those He Himself wanted. And they came to Him. Then He appointed twelve, that they might be with Him and that He might send them out to preach, and to have power to heal sicknesses and to cast out demons: Simon, to whom He gave the name Peter; James the son of Zebedee and John the brother of James, to whom He gave the name Boanerges, that is, “Sons of Thunder”; Andrew, Philip, Bartholomew, Matthew, Thomas, James the son of Alphaeus, Thaddaeus, Simon the Cananite; and Judas Iscariot, who also betrayed Him. And they went into a house.
