Famine (Psalm 37:19)

“They are not put to shame in evil times; in the days of famine they have abundance.”


In Kerith ravine

cooled by shade

Elijah went hiding

to ride out the famine.

God sent ravens

to come to his aid

with a daily ration,

these creatures who 

neither sow nor reap

bearing gifts of

bread and meat,

and this with water

from the trickling brook,

morning and evening.

and it was good.
