Listen - Poem


Listen -

Old and living Prophets
     whisper
     from dusty pages
     and shining pulpits

Servants call all
     but faithful few
     choose to partake
     of Christ's banquet

Peculiar people
     reclaim covenant
     accumulate on Peter's
     Gentile blanket

Trumpet beacon
     signals earth to heaven
     Idumea trained
     for final confrontation

Earthquake thunders
     oceans roar
     war threatens
     faithless tremble

Powers clash
     in royal battle
     The Word, emblazed
     ends Zion's struggle

Who will rise
     to welcome Him
     who will hear
     who will listen?
