Day of Fire – v2

“Day of Fire”, yes, really,
that is what the white lettering
on his black t-shirt said
I don’t know what the maker meant
for me to see in those words
But, here in church,
I see the birth of the church, Pentecost
a day of fire, of flames changing
the history of the world
a birthday, a moment, flames
commissioning timid followers
into bold disciples, missionaries
charged to save each human soul
across the face of the globe, across
the sands of time, forever
Good News spread like a brush fire
through the centuries after that
a singular Day of Fire, indeed
