An Illustration Of The Peace Be Still Story by elfaez(m): 3:42pm On Sep 07, 2014 |
Just trying to modify into a drama-esque and poetise the Biblical incident in which the Sea is troubled, and Jesus and his disciples were in the middle of the sea in the middle of the hullabaloo and pandemonium... ( middle of the..... Sea. The calm of the sea is shattered by a sudden, strange storm. The evening fades into an oppressive dark night, as frequent thunderous lightning rend the pitch dark sky continously. The disciples are thrown into confusion and an awareness of impending doom) Peter : a'oar! a'oar! Get a'starboard Andrew Or this day thou shall rue. James to the lines! Three to larboard align Andrew :Aye! Aye! I go. (slips and somersaults, landing on his buttocks) Peter ; oh no shall we perish! Our strength we needs replenish. We cannot survive this evil swing, the boat leaps like it has wings. But nay, I shall shall hold the mast, the time to weep is past. Bartolomew ; oh we labour in vain. Seawater smells in my veins. (seawater splashes into the boat, and he takes it full in the face, swallowing a large gulp)Ah, a drink of water is always welcome. You just can't get enough. Oh sea, another drink please? Peter ; that doesn't rhyme! Do you want people to be bored? You'll drink more than you need if you do not get a'starboard, the sea entertains with an inexhaustible jug o' brine. Hey John pass the wine! John the beloved ;but shall Gabriel not give us more wine than this? Just wait, tis only a moment till the we enter the master's cas'le o' peace Peter :but where is the master? Matthew :Behold, he lieth by the boxes old. Master! Rise and do not dally! Else we perish, in this seastorm rally. The waters rise up above our heads, the winds rage violent, drawing us to the seabed. Oh save, good master, arise from thine slumber, for the creatures of the deep gather to dinner! Peter ;(aside to Matthew) nice rhyme bro. I hereby name you of rank SENIOR SAILOR OF THE SEA. We'll celebrate this at the dining all beneath the life-giving tree. (The master arouses slowly, and gets into a sitting position) The master : oh what blissful rocking The sea giveth, like a mother gives her suckling Oh let it continue, that I might get The best of hard work's rest But who arouse me from mine slumber Tell me, which of you is dumber? Me have ye from a sweet dream awoke A dream of apples, and a shade of oak. Tell me what troubleth ye, I list'n For I am with you in all seasons Peter ;the sea rages and you dream of apples and trees, Care thee not that we perish? The master : well, have you not oars? Peter : oh give me wings and I shall fly But give me oars and I shall die! Save us oh master, save! The master ; I can't die , mine hour is not come The disciples ;what of us whose time any time can come? The master ; yeah yeah whatever... (faces the storm) Peace, be still! (there is a sudden calm, the sea ceases to be troubled, and the sun rises in the horizon) Are you happy now? Ye whose faith to fear bows Who from the apex of assurance high Sink deep into despair. (the disciples all sink to their knees) Disciples: forgive us master, and thank you, Our lives you have given us anew Teach us to fear nothing, And bend to nothing, Yeah, we shall fear nothing, not even death When it opens it jaws, and breathe a fiery breath. We shall worship the father of life God, thou his son, and the spirit that maketh wise. The three that reign as one, God the father, and Jesus the son, God the holy spirit; the three that are God Before whom angels sing and are not bored All creation praise thy name Lucifer forever bears shame Thine holy name forever be praised Forever and ever no end placed Copyright (2014) licenced to Xheon Elfaez Sanz(Okelade P A) .
