hearing new words

such words I have never heard
these new words of Christ
shared with us in the open
here on the mountain
sitting at his feet, with them,
staring with the others
all of us with mouths open wide
not believing completely
but knowing these new words were
important, changing our lives
a new way of understanding blessedness
hearing new words of life
