Conversational Prayer-Sonnets and Scriptures

What dost thou here, Elijah? And he said, I have been very jealous for the LORD God of hosts; because the children of Israel have forsaken thy covenants, thrown down thine altars, and slain thy prophets with the sword; and I, even I only, am left; and they seek my life, to take it away ...

lest heartsick pained reactions pull thee down.
Lo! ... glory waits within the deep'ning night
for now together -
as one! -
in this vale
come precious souls whose knees won't bow to Baal!
