Elijah was caught up to heaven in a whirlwind. 
     Just prior to that
      Elisha asked for and received a double portion of his spirit...

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

Showing His care,without casting blame
'Go back,Elijah,along the way you came'

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?

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

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....

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.

Drink from brook, eat what ravens bring you,for I have told them to feed you_he did what God said

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
Sing Little Elijah

   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

Revolutionary insight excells (XL)
for forty days and forty nights
Noah discovered what rain was;
Moses was given God’s ten laws.
Josh and Caleb searched out the land;
Jesus triumphed at evil's hand.
Goliath’s grand boasting accrued;
Elijah travelled in anguish.

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....

You such as tired horses! 
Running between the spirit of trees; 
Then absconding - such as four Doves 
To distant clouds  

You Oh 'Orville’s' mountains 
As you are on the ground, 
Glorified in heaven! 
  
And you O Plains 
Where the trees bunched  
Like doves, cooing with songs 
And brighten like a pebble into brook 
 
You O 'Elijah' plains  
You a witness ,never know what war is!
And what the mystery of death!...

lessons handed down
no acts of kindness
more like the answer
to the question
are we paying attention

back in sixty-five
forty second and San Pedro
backroom of the barber shop
racking pool balls for pennies
or whatever them players
saw fit to handout 

hustle in some folk’s eyes
scripture in others
Gandhi or Elijah Muhammad 
Jesus over Iceberg Slim

a world like a bordello
filled with pimps and Johns
and the only ho' in the room 
was me...
