Sleeping in Danger - Poem by Raymond A. Foss

In his time of trial
temptation to turn from the path
they were sleeping in danger
his all too human disciples
the night when the betrayer came
when evil stalked the garden
looking for the master
for a few small coins only
Christ was captured
in the shattered stillness of the night
