Elijah's Vision
He flew from the Queen,
for Jezebel was after him,
surrendering life and soul,
Elijah came to the mountain of God.
He doubted his call
for faithful prophets were all slain,
he - the only one remained.
As he stood in the void of fear,
nature, as if breathing revenge
rocks shattered, hills split apart,
spat fire, earthquake and wrath.
Elijah received a vision-
as he lifted his eyes,
he saw them in heaven,
they were coming for him,
horses and chariots of fire.
