Four Corners Come

National Catholic Reporter, Sept 23, 2005 by Mary Harwell Sayler

Four Corners Come

   and the wind grows
            in its wildness,
   and waves rush into the
            Sea of Galilee,
   and old stories of swine
            drowning in these
   waters rise and surface,
            churning whitecaps
   as Jesus calls:
   "Be still. Be
   still," and the waters
   calm, and you and I
   will settle this in peace.
