tired, weary,
hard pressed
on every side,
criticised,
examined,
sought after,
and rejected,
physically,
spiritually,
emotionally,
sharing and giving...
+
empty
they took him
as he was
into their boat
to cross
to another shore...
+
he slept...
+
a storm raged...
+
terrified
they woke him,
and drawing from the very
depths of his
spent-ness
and given-ness
he spoke,
peace
and the storm was stilled...
+
empty
they took him
as he was
into their boat
to cross
to another shore...
+
and awe,
more powerful
than any storm
descended...
+
they took him
as he was...
