What a beautiful poem and brilliant illumination of the scene. It has everything. The fear they felt when they didn; 't know it was the Lord, then unbridled joy when they saw it was Him and Peter's impetuous stepping out on the waves and the part I especially loved when the waves felt like mere puddles to him (this is a wonderful God given insight) , then his sudden, childlike fear and the strength of the Lord pulling him back up, thank you for this. I felt as I read your poem as though I was there on the shore watching it all unfold and in deep awe. At the same time it made me think of all of the appearances of Jesus after he rose as if those were also implied in the poem. The quote from Merton is truly a delight. I am trying to read all of Merton's journals now. The atmosphere of his writing is so deep and filled with a kind of light joy at the same time, like your poem! Have a Blessed Easter!

Thank you for this beautiful poem of faith. I love the image of Peter feeling the sea depth under his feet as if it were only puddles and the strength of the Lord drawing him up when he suddenly got scared and lost faith. Thank you for such a vivid interpretation. I felt like I was there watching it all from the shore and in awe. Have a wonderful Easter!
