@yahweh Has Remembered Poem by Jordan Legaspi

@yahweh Has Remembered



Zeal with his priestly right -
the lot befell on him to receive a sight
Emissary he was of great influence and importance
but behold so sudden he was then put to silence,
Called vision, alas, terrible fear had besieged him -
unfamiliar voice that has to proclaim;
He, be a father to a son, to a Nazirite -
a spiritual appeal to shaken his priestly might,
At his old age, the final of days it seems
for Yahweh has remembered him, hence
Remembering the promise of old -
the Messiah will come as foretold;
In holy fear then he uttered his canticle:
praise to the heavens, blessings to Israel;
And thus, he concluded his priestly vow
neither to appease nor to dodge them with awe;
Hear therefore, to what his silence has to say -
a religious experience that can be yours or mine to day
