speaking in tongues
For years I stood in its
shadow hoping one day to
see the source of a longing
cast in omnipotence over me
and just when I was learning
to trace its outline in the dark
you brought a torch through
the town square of my
slumbering heart
I had no idea what to look for
no knowledge with vengeful eyes
just the calming of your
foreign voice at once distant
and familiar
speaking to me in a tongue
I had never heard but
had always known...
