+------My Triumphal Entry; Elijah's Thoughts While Being Charioted Away To Heaven 

I feel quaking earth. Faintly,
I hear horses stampeding,
aroma of ash, breath of fire,
light of consciousness fusillading
from fantasy out of the dark corner
of my eyes, myth becoming reality.
This is it, the full translation of
glory I've seen, the dead raised, oil
in one jar to jars manifold, Baal
priests’ altars blood-stained.
And they say the voice of
God, still and small, but the glory
of His face, His presence…is
chariots amethyst in a whirlwind,
my heart forever windswept.

-----2 Kings 2:9-13
When they had crossed, Elijah said to Elisha, “Tell me, what can I do for you before I am taken from you?” “Let me inherit a double portion of your spirit,” Elisha replied. “You have asked a difficult thing,” Elijah said, “yet if you see me when I am taken from you, it will be yours—otherwise, it will not.” As they were walking along and talking together, suddenly a chariot of fire and horses of fire appeared and separated the two of them, and Elijah went up to heaven in a whirlwind. Elisha saw this and cried out, “My father! My father! The chariots and horsemen of Israel!” And Elisha saw him no more. Then he took hold of his garment and tore it in two. Elisha then picked up Elijah’s cloak that had fallen from him and went back and stood on the bank of the Jordan.
