After the storm
after Christ calmed the sea
resting upon the still waters
floating on the clear waters
The disciples at the shepherd’s feet
adrift upon the placid seas
a time to think, to believe
their cares washed away
A lesson of faith
brought to life
by the stilling of the storm
their rest upon the seas

Psalm 23 (King James Version)
1 The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want.
2 He maketh me to lie down in green pastures:
he leadeth me beside the still waters.
3 He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the
paths of righteousness for his name’s sake.
4 Yea, though I walk through the valley
of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil:
for thou art with me;
thy rod and thy staff they comfort me.
5 Thou preparest a table before me
in the presence of mine enemies:
thou anointest my head with oil;
my cup runneth over.
6 Surely goodness and mercy
shall follow me all the days of my life:
and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.
