Poem
Joel 2:28
A poem
Joel 2:28 “It will happen afterward, that I will pour out my Spirit on all flesh; and your sons and daughters will prophesy. Your old men will dream dreams. Your young men will see visions.”
Tongues of flame
accompanied the tongues
of men
caught up, thanks
to your loving-kindness,
in the mystical ecstasy
of the upside-down Babel
that occurred amongst the
poor, the dirty, the
uneducated, the packed-in,
the over-looked
who were all loved by
you enough to be
poured into, Holy Spirit.
Joel wept and shouted to
see this day.
