by Ms. Lisa Maria Marengo
The prophet, on fire with the Spirit of the Lord,
Heralds the Holy One’s coming.
Here the prophet comes, burning, set all ablaze;
A fiery brand for all to see, announcing
The Advent of the Holy One;
The Word comes forth.
Again and again
The call goes out.
Word on fire; hearts set ablaze.
Again and again, resounding.
The prophet, on fire with the Spirit of the Lord,
Heralds the Holy One’s coming.
A call to prayer. A call to harken.
Listen. Turn. See.
The prophet’s word prepares, shatters, reduces.
Levels, makes straight all; restores.
The call goes out, a sounding trumpet.
Again and again, resounding.
Pray. Listen. Turn. See.
The Arrival of the Word in silence and stillness.
