After Acts 2:38-47
A few words, a single speech,
spoken as the crowd grows,
the curious and the mocking,
wondering at the noise
and tongues of fire
and fishermen speaking
languages they do not know,
a few words spoken
by the one who denied him
three times.
They listen, they hear,
they recognize the truth
about themselves, the truth
that wields a sword, the truth
that cuts hearts in two.
Reeling, they say ok, but
what now? what next?
When hearts are split
open, what do we do?
