A few, clear voices,
when asked if they want to
be
flames or disciples
some voices hesitant,
some of them clear
but one stood out
different somehow
“I will be a disciple!”,
one of them said.
Somehow different
than I want to be a flame
something to marvel,
to wonder at, even this
young
“I will”, not I want
a disciple, doubting,
timid, afraid,
being Peter, being Thomas,
being blessed, changed
by the touch of the Holy
Spirit
as if by tongues of fire
burning within us
