He became frightened,
and beginning to sink, he cried out, “Boss, save me!”
Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him.
—Matthew 14.30-31
On the sea within me
there is one who cries out
and one who responds.
Within me, one who commands
and one who asks to be commanded.
One who panics in the chaos
and, yes, within me, one who is steady.
One who is terrified at the waves
and one who finds footing there.
One clings to the known
and one strides in mystery.
They reach out to each other
on the beautiful stormy sea within me.
As long as they hold onto each other
I do not sink.
