. . . there were other boats with them. Mark 4.36

How many people felt the wind

drop suddenly, saw the waves

flatten to a calm, marveled to find

themselves released from anxious hauling

on the oars—and never knew

the cause? Their boats all scattered by storm,

could any see him standing relaxed,

at ease, in his disciples’ craft?

Or hear his reproof? I think they only knew

they had received some unexpected grace.
