pentecost


“you make the winds your
         messengers,
   fire and flame your
         ministers.” Psalm 104:4

with a lullaby
      of comforting hope,
   a nudge from
      a gust of outrage,
   a gale knocking
      injustice off
      its feet,
you speak;

singeing isolation’s
   stubble from our lives,
cauterizing our souls
   from the wounds of hate,
fulgarating our
   fear-lesioned hearts,
you transform

come!
