Picasso, Pentecost and Haiku

Picasso, Pentecost and
Haiku

 

Invading Spirit,

Gatecrash our solemnity

With holy fervour.

The Church that’s drinking

Intoxicating Spirit,

Never lost for words.

 

Rushing mighty wind,

hurricane force holiness,

mission impelled church.

 

Searing tongues of flame,

“Inextinguishable blaze”,

purify our hearts.

 

Speak in other tongues,

Of love, of peace, of pardon,

People reconciled.

 

     Tower of Babel,

    Communication breakdown,
    New hermeneutic.

 

Pentecostal Gift,

As Given, Giving, Giver,

“The Go-Between God”.

    Amen to all that.
    Stanza 1 is definitely the prayer for today as we hold our community outreach event and I spend three hours face-painting!

    reverberates with longing:
    every one inspired.
