I love the idea of pondering the perspective of those there. It reminded me of my childhood and the absolute aww I would feel listening to the Bible stories. Amazing poem!


Hello readers, welcome to OCpoetry. This subreddit is a writing workshop community -- a place where poets of all skill levels can share, enjoy, and talk about each other's poetry. Every person who's shared, including the OP above, has given some feedback (those are the links in the post) and hopes to receive some in return (from you, the readers).

If you really enjoyed this poem and just want to drop a quick comment, to show some appreciation or give kudos, things like "great job!" or "made me cry", or "loved it" or "so relateable", please do. Everyone loves a compliment. Thanks for taking the time to read and enjoy.

If you want to share your own poem, you'll need to give this writer some detailed feedback. Good feedback explains from your point of view what it was like to read the poem, and then tries to explain how the poem made you feel like that.

Did the disciples sigh

When Jesus walked on the water?

Or was it expected that he would become

The unlit beacon of dashed hopes

Morosely eschewing

The laws of modern physics

&amp;#x200B;

I wonder about his gait

Was he

Striding confidently

Head up eyes straight ahead

Or did he meander in long, looping arcs

Filled with self doubt &amp; fear

&amp;#x200B;

I think that

He was more surprised than anyone

All at once

To look down and to see

The sea as blue as dreams

Splashing under his feet

&amp;#x200B;

&amp; I know that he was

In that moment

Very sad

&amp; very alone

Thinking to himself:

Nothing will ever be the same again
