Fisherman's song

Skyscraper waves far over your head

Surface your sky as you lie on its bed

from deep out of your pores monsters creep

In the eye of a hurricane dream you sleep

A tornado of fire guides your way

Voice of flame fires the clay

Now heart of stone grinds your meal

From bread pick a bone blood congeal

It drips from a barbwire crown

A fisherman can never drown

Born of a virgin daughter

He walks on troubled water

Ay mate there were other gods that walked on water as well. You could get a hand from Orion son of Poseidon. Now there was a sailor. Thanks for the read

it really felt like being on a boat. when you're out at sea, the thoughts silence for a while and then the most magical ideas pop up in your head. thanks for sharing this.

Very Christ like Soren. Your lines gave me the feeling of turning the other cheek. That’s what you do for spiritual growth. A great read.

He made us in his image...we define him in ours.
Well done, Soren.
Love the parallel....
and those skyscraper waves....reminds me of swimming at Rye Beach or Coney Island...the Atlantic waves devouring me as a kid.

Soren, you did a wonderful job again! This poem is a stunning portrayal of inner battles and the interplay between human struggles and spiritual transcendence. The imagery of nature's fury and elements like fire, stone, and water beautifully captures a sense of chaos and renewal. The reference to a "barbwire crown" and "walking on troubled water" gives the poem a spiritual layer, evoking themes of suffering and redemption. It's thought-provoking and layered, inviting the reader to reflect on resilience and faith amidst life's storms.
