Conversations beside the Shore

When the Heart no Longer Compels, What will We Choose? A reflection on John 21

By Randy Wayne Jellison-KnockPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read

Peter, do you choose me,

though it cost you all?

I answered,

how ever could I love you not?

twice asked & answered

long ago beside the shore.

Upon the thrice he met me

& said it is enough.

Broken-hearted,

thrice I’d failed him;

days a-looming

surely will require more.
