My Father's house

My Father's house is in the woods
where trees gather round in prelude
ah, the flowers and fruits climb high in great pursuit
upon the hill they rise to meet where its peak and skies together conclude
ah, what sweet smells of welcome so far away
where I stand right now oh, in a road diverged in familiar between
the body of brown hammered wood
its arms outstretch with rusty nail
its direction ah, seems in old age fail
I could not read from East to West
thus my way cannot continue so in dismay
I stood between two paths which outstretches to wherever both ways may

Its' quiet station and pursed lips
stay sealed...stagnant where he stands
with hands both raised above his hips
Ah, in frustration I kept it far from coming
still it persisted for the wait was excruciating

the winds above sailed slowly by
but did not make contact with my eyes
they were in packs this I could see
and they brought pollen, birds and flowery concoction as they breathed slowly by

I thought I saw a yearning sigh
raised from below my stomach and I
asked the winds if it could be as kind
to aid me in my journey to find
the way to my Father's house

He was an old chap
whose hat was worn
and coat colours half gone
diluted as the brown pupils in his eyes
His lips tremble and brows they shake
he lit his pipe and smoked it - in voluminous contemplate

Finally he said
" I say, my dear
what has caused you to strand in this forest here
where the shadows roam here and there
and creatures lurking everywhere
have you a lantern, oil and weapons- What no tent?!
Oh my dear are you to stand here for long...my dear...
where the roads divide in between this old wood whose life is near the end?
I have been here many times and I can tell
many have come here to find if they could find Heaven and in the Father's room to forever dwell...

Intercessions
prayers and all intent
ask for God's Holy guidance for their human incompetent...
ah...are you to make their number rise
are you seeking the House of the Lord Jesus Christ?"

I gaped and wondered at the wind
who communicated with me - the wind!
when I gathered sense and compose
I replied to the wind and said ;

"Ah, I've been in woods and knocked on every door
I've passed the depths of this forest thoroughly
I could not find it...not quite yet
but I shan't give up ever...till I find Him standing there at that Shepherd's gate
I can imagine cherubs and angels all will sing
of God's glorious might and splendorous reign
Whose crown magnificent forever God Head King

I've knelt before Him and spoke at night
in my heart I hear angels and cherubs sing and glorify
the name of my Lord and God Jesus Christ
Whose name is above all names who reigns forever God sovereign

He spoke to me of making many rooms
that when I leave this earth in bodily tomb
that I should rise again and see His face
and dwell forever in Heaven where I can taste His Heavenly grace...

I stand right here and this I know
I am still far from His Eternal Kingdom I call my true home
My soul is drenched with tears and sweat
of painful burden which my sinful flesh alas in perpetual weakness beget!

Ah, I shall heave a grateful sigh
when I am finally with my Lord Jesus Christ
ah, what burdens shall my temple bear
which the Lord God Jesus did not once for me endured?
He endured all things that I may find
my soul and His forever bind...

Whilst I am on earth I shall never be satisfied
until I am with the Lord Jesus Christ..."

Then I saw the sun unsheathed her light and part through the narrow edges of the leaves and trees
and lit a golden beacon right upon me
I felt a Heavenly melody
as the Lord Jesus spoke to me

"Rest at ease My beloved child
in this world begets many trials
yet in these trials you shall no doubt meet
temptation in close pursuit to see if you will fall into defeat...
know that I have rose above all of these
that when you forebear them remember please
that I bored these sufferings before you today
that I shall guide you pass it triumphantly
I have raised a fortitude a great wall of a shield
I have surrounded you with angels who once fought with Me in battlefields
fear not My love for in you I have sealed
My blood and promise that you and I shall always be together
forever and ever and ever amen.
I shall lead you through troubled seas
and hold you steadfast in typhoons and storms of sea and wind
none shall destruct you because I have conquered these
things before you are faced with them...
thus trust in Me...

I love you beloved child of Heaven
My Heavenly Father chose you to be amongst the ones who belong in My flock
I shall be your refuge, shield and rock
I shall be with you forever more
trust in the Heavenly Father and trust in Me
I shall make you triumph though you feel you shall not in great adversities
I shall make you shine as bright as morning sun
that you may be proof of the gospel of the Heavenly Father, Spirit and the Son...

I love you beloved so rest at ease...
pray for fruit of the spirit to guide you in all you do...
I shall be with you forever more
and grace you with mercies and indulgence from My Heavenly Father's store..."

The beacon remained and a dove descend
and sat upon my head
it cooed and preened itself where it stood
a great light exalted from His halo upon His head
He whispered in a quite voice
"Child of the Heavenly Father's choice
move slowly, and count on Me for I shall be
the voice of your Salvation and conscience of holy certainty
yea, you may stumble and sometimes trip and fall
but I shall pick you up and make you stand tall
for a tree does not stand firm and strong like this all on its own
it faces adversities before its root expands and grow in firm foundation...
muscles cannot strengthen if one does not exercise
so carry forth the cross which Christ Jesus did and once was crucified
carry the cross of Salvation and of suffering that
when you leave this earth you may exchange it for a crown of gladness and co-heir of Jesus' glory..."

I stood still together with the breeze
it bowed in reverence of the Holy Trinity
and with the light shining where I should be
I walked down the path which I look forward
to dwell in the house of my Heavenly Father's house
for eternity...
