The trick
if for some reason
you should wish
to walk on water
like Lord Jesus
or the Russian holy man
of the folk tale
who shared that gift
let's not forget
with water striders
and green basilisks
is not to think of it
as anything
unusual or special
in fact best
never to think of it at all
but to keep moving
with unhurried diligence
on God's behalf
that is to say
not for one's own
but for the sake
of strangers
those in need
and with the lightness
both of foot and heart
that comes unheralded
with love's upwelling
