Poetry
He had a net
and he set it out
and he spent the night;
a long night,
a very long night
laboring
- as fisherman do.
Waiting.
Waiting.
For the tug.
For the pull.
For a voice.
He was about to get
arthritis when
he heard
a voice say
"Toss it out
into deeper water"
He had a hard time
believing;
he knew boats
and fish
and nets.
He studied them.
He even knew
which spots
were best at
each hour.
He was into
their statistics
and logistics.
Very practical
and logical
was the man.
Alittle too much so.
"Okay" he says
and then
as far as he
could go
in the deep,
unknown,
dark water
he lets go.
His net,
in no time
was full.
His own net
so much so
that his friends
had to help him.
He was full.
Not of himself.
He had fish.
The net almost broke.
Then he freaked.
The voice said
"Don't freak."
To himself
he said
"From now on
I'll go
with His flow."
Him and his
friends followed
the Voice
and the Flow
ever since.
The Torah sunk
into the depths
of their heart.
They no longer
took fisherman
opinion poles.
