THE FISHER MAN

There was a white fisherman
whose desire
was to cast his hook
into the black sea.
Yet he feared that
the line he held would break
in the depths
leaving him at a loose end.
He thought about it...?
This wasn't his fear,
he stood safe on the shore.
His fear
was that the bait would draw the prey.
He feared the fight,
the struggle.
Being drawn into the deep
to be drowned and devoured.
He prayed about it and he saw,
there was only one right thing to do.
He imbedded the hook
through his own heart,
threw the reel into heaven
and stepped into the water.

1 John 4 v 18
