Lenten Poems

I Kings 19 II

I thought I was the only one
who still knew his name
remembered how the sea parted
the cloud, and the flame
so I traveled in the desert
forty nights and forty days
to reach the mountain
where wind roared and fire blazed.
But the Lord spoke in a whisper
not the earthquake:
"You are not alone," he said,
and I saw seven thousand more
of my countrymen in that desert
still true to the Lord.
