AFTER THE STORM
As I remember
You were not unfamiliar with storms,
On the sea and in the Temple.
You calmed the one
And caused the other.
In both you made the point
That you are Lord of all.
Quieting winds from fishing boats
Upsetting thieves and tables
Settling once for all
The question
Is God for us or against us.
With every move you made
The answer gave
Love is the beat
Of the Omnipotent heart,
The cross-winds you faced
Salvaged our soul-drown
And made a place
For God to live
In hearts – surrendered.
