pentecost

in wind & flame
they felt acknowledgement

fill that room stronger

than any wind felt before
these gales of rushing promise

Spirit sent flames astounding

light dazzling all who were 
there not speechless but into

all speech forever one tongue

of many flaming voices moving 
all, filling all, powering all

with surge of bright burning

receiving His love of 
dove descended blaze.
