Paul was in Rome, under house arrest;
but he received guests, without hindrance,
so ends the book of Acts;
but it is the story of Acts, the sharing,
of unpredictable stars,
milquetoasts who gain spines,
power emboldening disciples, speaking
in unknown tongues near and far,
of early believers, disciples, saints,
a persecutor made proselytizer
of missionaries and martyrs
of zealots of the faith
Giving all, or dying for holding back,
a time of communal living and squabble;
but a moment of proclamation,
over and over, without hindrance,
spreading the good news, the gospel,
from Jerusalem to the ends of the earth
as eyewitnesses to the creation
the beginning of another age
of love and sacrifice,
of communion and peace
a renewed Eden, a garden, a way,
if we would just follow His path
