Wednesday in Easter Week

Today's prompt was a "memory" and I originally though I was going to write a somewhat comic poem about my lack thereof. However, my sister has been reading the Propers of the Mass for each day, since the beginning of Lent. She loves today's Gospel - Christ meeting His Apostles on the shores of Lake Tiberias, and Peter being too impatient to wait for the boat to come about, so he swims to shore. I have a soft spot for that story too, and as a result, the comic poem went to the wayside and we have this instead:

The Sea of Tiberias

Wednesday in Easter Week, 2017

I remember once before,

A morning like this,

And against the sunrise,

A Man upon the shore.

His voice on the water

Bidding, "Cast thy nets again."

And once before,

This miracle of fish,

And water at the gunnels,

As the nets tore.

I let them fall

Stunned with sudden joy

Remembering that once before.

Nor could I bide to wait,

But fast a fish, swam to meet

My Lord upon the shore
