oh, now you need me

there was turbulence.
the wind
pushed the boat with wings
from side to side,
the earth was
upside
down. clouds were
where the land was
supposed to be.
it grew dark as the rain
pounded our
thin metal home
in the sky.
we gripped hands, began
to pray
to the God we grew up
with,
which amused Him
greatly, wondering
where we had been
all these years.
