Revealed
The other has confronted,
touched on the quick, borne with through
awful combative silence — almost
inaction — until knowing one is
known, now.
Knowing
One is the observer of,
made participant in,
momentarily
caught, stilled;
listens with every fibre;
and to the swiftly far away
vanishing, an unpursuer
humbled.
Prophecy
Words are
imparted, able to calm,
quick to wrestle – and best;
they map a long long travelling
beyond experience even.
Teaching
Small exaltations of spirit demand
groundedness. Now too long
past dawn it’s time to get down to
listening, learn to talk too
without interference from
yourself, doing what’s been
given to be done.
(A gloss on I Cor. 14:6)
