to become Elijah

younger than the others
but the apprentice to the prophet
to become Elijah
if he had eyes to see
journeying with his master
his mentor, a father
walking faithfully with him
to receive his mantle
the double portion
the inheritance from the maker
the mantle of the prophet
upon his life
to become Elijah
needing to stay with him
to see with his own eyes
the chariots from the heavens
the horses of fire
