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
