Elijah was caught up to heaven in a whirlwind.
Just prior to that
Elisha asked for and received a double portion of his spirit
You live your life in a free form flyer....
A journey back through these tides be time ?
His clock upon the wall; much clearer this view, today.

Elijah sat 'neath a broom tree
'Lord,enough is enough, for me'
Within,he heard a small voice,
The Lord gave Elijah,this solace-
'Annoint Elisha in your place'

Junipers symbolized rest and refuge in ancient times.
Elijah, Job, and Jeremiah were drawn to these special trees.
During their worst times, resting beneath them, they pondered life and death.
Elijah 'what are you doing here'
The prophet,revealing his fear-
God ministered,then and there,
Showing His care,without casting blame
'Go back,Elijah,along the way you came'

Elijah
Spoke direct to God
God told him anoint Elisha
Elijah passed Elisha plowing cast mantle on him
Twelve men plowing oxen; Elisha was last in line said let him tell his parents goodbye

Peter, John and James
Went to the Mountain
With Jesus to pray
The face of Christ changed
His clothes became bright
They saw Moses
And Elijah
With Jesus Christ
Speaking with Him
Let us build
Them shelters
A voice came
This is
My Son
Christ
Yesterday I was robbed by Elijah,
hacked by Abraham,
scammed by Veronica,
OnlyFans-spammed by Jezebel (oh wait, that one makes sense)
and spammed by the DNC ! by a man named Satan?
Born Malcolm Little, Malcolm X,
Formerly known as "Detroit Red," was fiery and complex.
An American Muslim Minister and Human Rights Activist
He became disillusioned as Elijah Muhammad's loyalist

It was a day like any other
their weary feet bathed in dust, dirt
a burst of light in the sky
Lord, Elijah, Moses
Captured radiance
Peter awestruck
heart's ablaze
Faith sealed
light

Note: The Transfiguration of Jesus
3rd Place "Jesus and Mary- Easter"
And Elijah looked down
Upon the earthly ground and
Shouted all the torrent of worry
And surrendering joy left in his soul.
In the morning he awoke to a new light,
And staggered across the wet moss
He had rambled across the day prior
when he was still stuck in the mire.
Revolutionary insight excelled
for forty days and forty nights.
Noah discovered what rain was;
Moses received God’s ten laws twice.
Josh and Caleb searched out the land;
Jesus triumphed o'er Satan's tests.
Goliath’s grand boasting accrued;
Elijah travelled in anguish.
I
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.
When I am in isolation
Amidst the woods
I am not alone.
I think of the caves
And canyons and rivers
That Elijah sat in,
Just him and God,
Talking back and forth.
What kind of friendship did they form
In those desolate hours
That made God sweep him
Off the face of the Earth
In a chariot of wind and fire.
Don't let my hope die down
although i know it was mine
to begin with
And the moon is praying
yet some see Elijah bestrode back in town
but I'm an old sinner
too old for my years
not knowing who would emerge
from the gloomy vale
I rode away
to see the harbour's light dim
but still I think of outside
where all the pain was
Hearing distant thunder, as the mighty waves
of Majesty crash upon my shore,
like Elijah I look off into the distant panorama
only to see that the dense clouds of blessing
is already upon me,
heavy with the blessings which come from
obedience - to be obedient in few things,
is to become ruler over many things.

Seek
Yet he said “seek and you will find,”
That it works, comes into mind,
Jesus said John the Baptist was Elijah,
Foretold to return , remind ya,
“As ye sow so shall ye reap,”
When bitterness is yours to keep,
Is the bad seed inside ya.

Elijah
Man of God listend
God spoke to him tells what to do
Go east_ hide by Cherith Brook_ east where enters Jordan
Drink from brook, eat what ravens bring you,for I have told them to feed you_he did what God said
(with this there is not way to make the line of 21 syllables fit but I wanted to finish the
story)
His child, living long enough to have learned this truth....
Its been no pleasure cruise nor was such her world, meant
To be their traveler time's pilgrims; transfiguration's stretched tightly
Elijah, these frames the sojourner's acrobatic feats as another's, stratum ?
Critical acclaim crossing love's Niagara Falls; electrotherapy armada's high tides.

Sing brother sing
His name is Elijah
And He’s a nightingale
His God is still the same
As He who is God knows His name
He strikes a posed, sings a sing
A power versed He can’t be wrong

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2024©
Living simply
rejoicing
in their callings
He, a shoemaker
finest quality
long-lasting leather
She, a seamstress
understated grace
in bridal gowns and accessories
home - Lower East Side
1930's NYC tenement-style
hearts - in Jerusalem
Their bags packed
ready to go
Hark, Elijah heralds the dawn
THE PROPHET.
When Elijah comes again,
We'll all turn the page of sin,
He is not the Lord,
But a voice of awe,
Heaven above, Earth below,
Fire within, ever to glow,
Divine life and love on Planet Earth,
Flames of gifts, new life to birth,
One vision and one dream,
Amity and no more bigotry,
One global fellow humanity,
Ceasing hostilities, such sin,
When Elijah comes again.
If I could go back in time;
I would rename the stars that shine.
Hercules and Perseus would be replaced;
Elijah and Moses would take their place.
The Ten Commandments would shine brightly in the sky;
Reminding us that the zodiac signs were but a lie.
God's promises would be seen above,
As a wonderful sign of his love.
When the time has passed and gone by;
Just remember God never lied.
God gave me too much of me
And some of me too little
That to live must be —
That to live must be reduced
To something less
A lesser someone
Or in fullness being —
A being forever bounding
To where the lesser could never reach
Or reach immensely slower.
God gave me too much of me
So I longed to pass as Elijah did
In my chariot of fire
Lacquered black and finely barred,
Run on one-way furnace rails.
