Peter Watching With Jesus 2016

He lay there. Perhaps he was praying.
He was feeling pain
and nothing I could do about it.

I didn’t want him to catch me sleeping.

What wasn’t clear was the energy that kept him going:
perhaps despair
or a wish to be more than he is.

As for me, I’m a simple fisherman,
glad when my boat is filled,
happy to know tomorrow
will bring fishing weather.
