Palm Sunday, 2024

 Would they?  Really, Lord?

     How would You do it?

       Make them speak, I mean.

         You made waters stand back

            and blind eyes to see, 

             but, really, my Lord, 

dirty stones shouting?

And, what would they say?

    How loud would they shout?

      Would the angels hear?  

         How 'bout the graves' dead?

           Silent stones shouting, 

             Who would have thought it,

surely not the stones!

Had folks been silent,

    what a sound would sound.

       Like what would it be?

         Jericho's trumpets?

           Elijah's sheer silence?

             Angels in the field?

How would glory sound?

Had those stones spoken, 

   what silence would fall

      over the noisy earth,

        and all upon it.

          No one would ask "how?"

            but, instead shout "Wow!"

and Hallelujah!
