I Will be a Disciple – v2

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
