Calming the Storm

Jesus fell asleep while they crossed the lake.
A gale nearly swamped them. “Master awake!
     Water's filling the boat
     and we can't stay afloat.”
Fearful of drowning they wouldn't escape.

He awoke to rebuke the furious storm,
restoring the calm the scene to transform.
     “Where is your faith?” said he.
     They from peril set free
were in awe at the wonder performed.

Luke 8.22-25
