Floodgates – v2

Floodgates – v2

Like floodgates, opening with a storm, the fire of Pentecost,

the conversion. moving, a brushfire, wind,

spreading of the flames, the believers growing in number

Outward from their cloister, to the Temple

to the streets of Jerusalem, out beyond the gates

into the world, trying to be stopped; but no such luck

Seeds planted, germinated, growing in fertile soil

unquenchable truth, unwilling to be silenced

moving out of control, alive, a brushfire

Ordinary men, untrained in the Law

the nuances of control lost on them;

They could not be stopped.
