What Would You Say?

What is this?
Sounds I have never heard before:
voices,
surprise,
shock,
and is that . . .
joy?

I've never heard any of this -
only muffled sounds
of people trying to be heard.
I had no idea.
I couldn't even
explain.

And now. . .
this Man,
this Man who touches me,
and commands me:
"Ephphatha!"

And I am opened.

Now I hear
the first words
I have ever heard clearly
from anyone:
"Be opened!"
And I can speak!

I want to tell everyone
about this Man.
This Man who opened me up,
surely,
this is the One!

But He orders me -
and all around -
to tell no one.
And then He simply moves on,
along the way.

But I -
I cannot just stand here,
not after what I have heard.

And I have so much to say. . .
