If it’s true that the gods do not sleep,
perhaps it was Jesus’ most fully human condition.
Remembering Eve, Abraham and Israel
Dreaming of angels, Abba and peace
A blessed rest after doing His Father’s will.
But in the midst of Nirvana
He was hijacked to
the world He created.
Drenched in water and the screams of
“Don’t you care if we drown?”
Maybe
He thought
He was having His first nightmare.
So He played the hero.
He spoke to the cosmic snooze button.
Calmed the wind.
Stopped the waves.
And then
mumbled to the crew
before going back to sleep:
“Why so little faith,
when you’re traveling with the King?”
