Ears pricked up

To receive the prophecy.

More than his Word – His words

Dangled between a pair of ear-rings

One up – the other down

Inverted commas but not inverted meaning

As comprehension dawns.

 

Tadpoles wriggling with joy

Tails up in anticipation

Bearers of the divine truth

Shaped in metamorphosis

From a randomised alphabet;

Tails down in disappointment -

They wanted more.

 

August 2010

 

After John Swinfen led a Bromley Bible study and we recognised the direct speech in ‘second’ Isaiah.

See Isaiah 42
