Oh to have felt the flames
to be set alight, aflame
by the Power of God
all together that Pentecost
to see the tongues of fire
descending upon each one
upon each one of us,
gathered in the locked room
to feel the flames, licking
entering into me, burning
to have been there, alive
when the first of my
brothers began to speak
in words we could not
imagine
to have been emboldened that
day
with them, to raise my voice
and speak
to join them in proclaiming
the resurrection of Jesus
salvation in His name
