Like a hurricane,
coming straight for them
a thundering rush
of wind, piercing the night
filling the room,
alive with the fire
so was the
entrance of the Spirit
bringing power for
the disciples
to dwell in each
beating heart
flames of fire
alighting
landing on each
one
bringing for them
and for us
the birth of the
church
emboldening these
timid souls
for acts of power,
of the message of love
lived out by these
men and women
clustered in fear
together
now speaking in
languages they did not know
spreading the
message of Christ
like a raging brushfire
