Fishers of Men
by Marcia N. Lynch
Peter cast his shadow
Over the diseased,
Where once he cast a net
Over troubled seas.
Giving sight to the blind,
Scales fall from their eyes,
Restoring healthy minds
To the demonized.
The bait was Holy love
That drew them to repent.
Love sealed up sin’s wounds,
Cleaned the fissures of men.
About the Poet
Marcia N. Lynch’s experience as a storyteller comes from working as a children’s film editor and from having been written into the story of Christ’s redemption. She studied sculpture at Mount Holyoke College. Sculpting, like film editing, requires an artist to cut out anything that does not relate to the primary subject matter, and these two disciplines have honed her storytelling skills. Marcia lives in Arlington, Virginia with her husband of 38 years and has three grown children. She surrendered to Christ in 1975.
