Best Elijah Poems

Here Elijah is reclining on his bed,
Waiting for the Divine to pass,
Enjoying the wind rushing by his head,
Stirring the meadow’s tall grass.
As the ground quietly but suddenly moves,
And a shudder takes control of his heart,
He wonders what this episode proves,
As his expectations go off the...

But when Elijah cried to his God... 
Then the fire came!

Elijah and the Priests of Baal,
wanted to see whose God was true.
They built two altars on Mount Carmel.
The real God would send fire from the blue.


The priests sacrificed an animal.
They prayed, chanted, cut their arms and rocked.
But, from the sky, no fire fell,
While Elijah, pointed...

The days of Elijah are here,
The time to advance the kingdom-
No hindering doubt or fear,
We know our God will come!

Some stand in opposition,
Blame God for everything,
But this Gospel of Salvation
By His Power,  is still winning.

But Christ Who died on the...

OH! These are the days of Elijah!
In the midst of the Jordan river!
Elisha watched as his mentor
was taken away into the heavens.

In a fiery chariot! The Lord God
took the tired old prophet home
to have him dwell in the house of
the Lord His God forever more!

OH!...

How easily he handles things
Pouring out his joy 
Without worrying over nothings 
Just like a faithful busyboy
Who keeps away his anger
Though burning and crazy
Yet, it affects no one, not even an abuser 

Gift is that to whoever finds it 
Dear pastor, live well and stay...

As he knows God's name 

He strikes a pose

ELIAS


I'll climb to the crest of the clouds
- bare heart -
I'll climb to the Morning Star
from the very edge of deus ex machina.

I've left in the pulpitum
my offering of bewilderment
my embroidered cape - imaginería -
the mere crumbs of my fears.  ...

I dreamed gigantic black oily night crawlers -- three and six feet long -- were squeezing upward through the floorboards of our house.

Last night I dreamed ventriloquist dummies could run for Congress.

I dreamed I sat on the edge of the bed and folded myself like...

Shouldn’t we readily agree,
Not to it like a decree,
Feeling really very free,
Unlike the under-lock-and-key,
That glances are for lent newspapers,
That shouldn’t in the borrowers hands last?
And to a reader, the foremost of his helpers,
Subduing the passages fast?

Men at the fascinating linger a glance,
But at The Suspicious...
