Inside the Cave

Inside The Cave The remnant, Sheep without a shepherd, Hiding from the wolves The convincing crowd, Bellowed out the sentence Passed on their leader, Crucify him!! Words passed quickly Judas hanged from a tree, It was dark, lonely Cold and wet, Who will explain This mystery? Kill the shepherd, the sheep are scattered. Peter followed close behind Maybe to see another miracle, When the boat overturned Everyman for himself, Swim or drown He denied knowing his leader, Still flesh and blood. Did the mission end? Will they return to fishing? Leave behind Lazarus, And such stormy experience, Will the band play again? Or will it be forever silent, ‘I am going fishing’, Peter broke the silence. The net they tossed left Tossed right, This night they came up naught, Like a downward spiral, Free fall can be comforting With nothing to lose, They rowed back to shore. Then from the misty distance A voice reached out, Like a rope down the hole Cast your net on the other side, It could not be, They looked up with beaming eyes Master is that you? Others came running Nets stretched full of fish, The master once again Inspired their lives, Train was back on track, As hearts filled and running over Resolved to share the catch. Kengee ©
