THE LANGUAGE OF TONGUES

Marching against the army of silence,
Clamorous as ankle bells
Was the barking roar of the rushing wind
Harbinger of the Finger visitor
Of pinnacle flaming torches
Hanging like red wrecks against a vivid sky

On our head it showered
Courage gripped our heart
Shattering the fortress against our faith
While our trembling lips gave voice
In the language of tongues
To the denied truth
Image result for picture of pentecost tongue
They came, they saw, they marvelled
As leaves arguing in the parliament of trees
Over the intoxication of the wind
Was the conspiracy on their lips
He spoke, they listened and stared
Rattling their confusion to silence

His tongue dropped hailstones
On the roof top of captive ears
Painting little hell on the canvas of their mind
Knocking down the sentry of heeding heart
Through the titanic gloom of chasm fear
In the language of tongues bore repentance
