By the flames, the breath
the living tongues of fire
the disciples were
commissioned,
emboldened, imbued with the
Spirit
Able to rise and speak, to
proclaim
with power, with authority
to be disciples, not merely
the followers
to be shepherd, not only
sheep
By the flames they were sent
out into the world, Babel
broken
and the world able to hear
the power of His message
By ones sent by the flames
by the Spirit burning within
to the ends of the earth
that others may live
