He Was Afraid, and Began to Sink, and Cried Out

Peter: you doubt, you sink. Your wavering
Petrifies. Remember even the heaving
Sea keeps faith with those that keep believing.
Rock they call you, but a real stone
Sinks for having solid bulk and weight.
You, you’re weighed down by levity. You alone
Sink not because you’re heavy, but too light.

—John Talbot
