The measure of a wave

from Musical Poetry · host Michael Appelt

This reflection weaves the storm on the Sea of Galilee, when the men in the boat saw Christ walking toward them, with questions about strength, freedom, and what endures after the storm.If this poem speaks to you, please share it, leave a comment, and subscribe so you won’t miss future episodes.Because where words fail, poetry still speaks.
