He Speaks On

​You believe
That you can stop His mouth
From speaking.
But you can't.
You fools!
His words cannot be capped
Like a jar full of grasshoppers.

He speaks on.

And if you are not listening,
Moving, stepping out upon the edge
Of faith,
Sooner or later
The life which once you found in part
Will cease.
And die within your stony hearts.
And then there is nothing left
But to memorize and to recite,
And pretend you are alive.
When you are not.
