we crossed the heavy seas on dingy
the waves towered...you were pregnant
we're both in fear of capsizing,
at the next slap to broadside us.
the sharks circle
we put on brave faces
for sake of crew and passengers
decades later, a bed is detached from emergency wall
nurse pushes you prostrate through emergency surgery doors
intravenous bags sway overhead. overhead the florescent slip
like blurred memories of omen fish
says the nurse, "time to say goodbyes."
we kiss as christians should. are we scared? not on a dime.
am tearing streaming brokenhearted, though
we put on brave faces for sake of crew
you and i are, we're finally one, beyond fear at last.
courage is trick of mind over panic
a skill picked up along the way
Grace, however,
is absence of fear.
Grace is gift from God
