Anna, I love this! Especially at the end, it reminded me of the Holy Spirit,, hovering, brooding over the dead world, breathing life! I has never er seen that side of it. I k ow Elisha does a similar miracle. I'm sure Elijah had access to the psalms. It is so very beautiful! Even Jeremiah, Ezekiel and Daniel communicated I'm finding out. Yahweh knows prophets need strength from one another. Perhaps this is why Elijah had su h a desoindentcspirit, being more isolated? I'd love to get your book as soon as it's fully birthed!

I can’t read your poems from this Elijah/Elisha series and not smile while reading each one of them. I just love them. I love the cadence and language every time.
