Hearing You
Then a great and powerful wind tore the mountains apart and shattered the rocks before the Lord, but the Lord was not in the wind.
After the wind there was an earthquake, but the Lord was not in the earthquake. After the earthquake came a fire, but the Lord was not
in the fire. And after the fire came a gentle whisper. 1 Kings 19: 11b-13
Pursued by Jezebel
Elijah slumped against the rock
watchful
as gale force winds
shattered boulders
Earth rumblings and flames
licked about his hiding place
Candescence cooled to ashes
Seismic shaking ceased
In the end, there was Your gentle whisper
Pursued by doubts
I cower
search for trees bent
with your passing
rocks split
rumours of the miraculous
some bush alight
In the end
there is the still slender neck
of a Blue Heron
the piercing blue eye
the silent lifting of his wings
across the water.
