'Elisha knew all about them,
their heavenly origin,
their lightning characteristics
but he lived in close proximity to his Lord
so never asked "how" or "why."
His servant, on the other hand,
is more like us, needing second sight
to see the Lord's hand-picked messengers--
that galaxy of fire cantering,
flame-carioled hosts
swooping to aid
then lifting up perpendicular
as Jacob's ladder!'
