They come together


After Acts 4:23-31

They come together,
and hear, and speak
unplanned, unscripted
words, going up fastened
to hearts and souls.
The words speak first
to creation, origins,
the beginning of all
things ordained,
things ordered,
to overwhelm darkness,
void without form,
shaped into creation.

This is the point
at which we start, praying
for boldness, for signs
and wonders.

The prayer ends,
sound begins,
room shakes,
ground moves,
souls fill, words
are spoken
boldly.
