Walk on Water
Salvation is conditional
based on the caveat of confession
in truth, with remorse and conviction
in acknowledging sins committed
and expressing from the heart and mouth
that Jesus Christ is Lord and Saviour
(submission is mandatory),
so ask yourself, “Do I believe?
Can I walk on water?”

Matthew 14:22-33: Jesus Walks on Water.
we heard in latest news
priest wore walk on water shoes
now can go on cruise
priest gave his sermon
prepared and said in german
we did determine
thank God have to do
sermon was over and through
picture of us He drew
God had premonition
when with much apprehension
must maintain retention
did die by the score
why would there ever be war
which we do deplore
must accentuate
God given abilities
to others offer
impossible and unthinkable
againts the law of nature
bending all the rules
walk on water
faith and trust
at your hand
you shall claim impossible and
walk on water
storms and trials
prejudice and criticism
stand no chance if faith is with you
walk on water
I walk on water. . .
I feel the coolness of the
Rolling waves splash
Beneath my feet.
I watch the sun sprinkle
Diamonds across the sea.
I float above the clouds
And feel the radiant warmth
Of the sun bless my body.
I feel the power of the wind
Caress or twist and break
Anything into submission.
I rise above the towering Alps—
Snow capped and pristine.
I enjoy a fragile flower sharing
The faint scent of heaven.
I know the Sequoias, ever growing.
I blend with verdant pastures and
Serene rolling hills in misty rain.
I know the secrets of the
Deep dark abyss.
I sense the moon’s tenderness
And share in her emotions.
I flow with the clever rivers
Seeking new exciting paths.
I form a rainbow in waterfalls.
I am free to be the wind, the earth,
The sea, when all you see is me.

Note:
I am only inferring I am one with nature in this poem.
lapis lazuli offered me
protection,as I walked
the land of the dead
being just half woman
and the shadows puppet,
i subsisted in nowhere
for eons
my darkness ended
as a mirror of light,
shone a course
to cross a river
a silhouette waited,
at the beginning
with one
breath of life left
I crossed the Nile,
no water touched my feet,
(but shadow gods followed me
trailing cloaks of wrath)
I was never meant
to come back
you brought me here
protected me,loved me
and when you tired of me
forgetting the shadows
haunt
My hair trails a path
I am crossing the Nile,
moonlight covers
the path of my return
I am almost
half a woman again,
and the shadow of wrath
crosses my face
To Walk On Water
To walk on water
To walk on water
to kill a giant
with a stone
to have a home
and not a house
to be a man
and not a mouse
to love a woman
and have my love returned,
would I be a murderer or not.
I will never know.
