Haiku for the fearful
Fearful Elijah
receiving Jezebel’s threat,
decides to clear out.
Hiding in a cave
on the holy Mount Horeb
he hears God’s question.
I have done your will,
Lord, and my life is at risk,
so I ran away.
Stand on the mountain,
wait and watch, because the Lord
is about to pass.
In turn, a great wind,
an earthquake and fire surround;
God is not in them.
A sound of silence,
sheer and still, tells Elijah
that the Lord is here.
In silence, stillness,
mystery; God’s voice. Questions;
perhaps some answers.
The question is asked,
and answered. Return, Prophet,
and get on with it.
