Sheila's Dribs 'n Drabs

He dreams in tongues of fire and death, survival his desire. She dreams in tongues of heaven, love’s revival, Man and wife will dream again.

Speaking in tongues of strangers Speaking ignoring the dangers Speaking when wisdom says silent Speaking because all their wisdom is more And reality’s bent Straighter.

Checking windows and doors, closing locks, hiding safe evermore, no-one knocks, but the wind blows and suddenly staring at flame-tongues they know they are more.

Hiding and whispering, sliding round corners to buy all they needed and hoping unheeded, they’re trying to stay there unseen until mighty wind frees them.

Winds of heaven, storm and loss are blowing Winds of hell and heat defying Sinners flowing to their lord and free as heaven and wind.

Tongues of fire and tongues of men and angels Tongues to move the coals and set The prisoner free from fear of tongues of men.
