When God Speaks

 When God speaks loudly
      as in the other night,
        it is like the elements
         colliding and crashing
           to bring into being
an echoing sound of silence.  

Echoing here and there,
    earthshaking thunder, 
       illuminating lightning,
         and a soul shaking voice
           that stirs the night
and sends sinners to their knees.

Always grace and more grace
    gives us ears to hear 
       what cannot be heard,
          the voiceless holy one
            who speaks in power
declaring presence and the way.
