I shook remnants of winter from my boots
but they remained steadily stained upon them
My vessel was a tiny imprint upon this vast domain
where winter had taken reign
and white was seen all over the place

crumbs of cold dropped from the skies
prickling the back of a hunched hill where I stand
oh how the world had received her with open hands
and how she had gracefully sat upon its palm
like a throne and she held her office gracefully...

I lamented silently in the depths of my soul
where I stood where the earth had grown old
but lo, the skies were bitter with grey but now tinged slightly with gold
the sun had rose but had made no effort to warm
the earth who had beckoned her, make the earth warm...once more...

She denied earth its desire
no warm repose for earth to come close..
for she was cold as winter could be

A graceful view from up here
upon a rendered hill whose top looked more like a rump (For I was staring at it for a long time)
I retreated and saw it as more of a hump...

I wondered if this was the ash of fallen stars
which blew out its last glow of nightlight
then it would spark and then buzz...finally when it does
die, fall down to the earth cold as ice...

I knelt down to touch the cold texture below
yeah, it was cold alright, how else could it feel as it was wintry white snow!
I felt a rush of a wind whose prophecy follows where it goes
spelt out a cold blustery winter ahead

I gazed at the stars and thought of my grandmother
who was indeed a warm fire in the wintry snow
alas our love grew warm too late
for she was called to Heaven...and then...
the angels brought her to Jesus at His Heavenly gates
it must've opened for sure
for I saw gold dazzling light part from the skies above...
a distant resounding, O yes I heard angels praising
Hail God of Heaven and earth...
yea, raise His Heavenly name in praise here below and on high!


I dwelt here below
for my trudge was still taking slow
I have miles to go before I meet God at the foot of His gate

My Lord Jesus said 'Come'
and spread open His arms
my soul came rushing to be buried upon His breast
warm furious tears came rolling down my cheeks, my face buried in His chest
as my soul unleashed a great series of lamentations
unhinged from a long time ago...
He cradled me close
and He held me closer than close
He knelt down to kiss my forehead...
at this I rose slightly to gaze at His glorious face
that was when I fell face down in a sinful and mournful disgrace

"Lord Jesus," I began
"Have mercy on me...for I am indeed a sinful woman..."
He had said nothing but allowed me pursuit...
so I continued..." I am not worthy to even untie the laces of your sandal
and kiss your feet..."

He knelt down to kiss my forehead
and with his hand wiped the tears from my eyes
still I bowed and avoided to look at the face of my glorious Lord and God Jesus Christ
He who is God, most Sovereign of all...
Christ Jesus the Son of the Heavenly Father
Who reigns also with the Holy Spirit, Hail Divine Three in One...

"I forgive you...dear one...be not afraid...
For have I not said I shall go before you always?
Dear child do not wonder how you cannot please
the world for their hunger is not of Heaven...
but of earth...and their moaning shall continue with lustful hunger
without cease...
but if you lay your burden and trust
in Me, Christ Jesus your Lord and Redeemer
I shall lead you to triumphant success...
but for that to happen, my dear one...lay your petitions
and worries on Me
then I your Lord and God will do the rest...

There will be stumbling blocks
and this I confess
the closer you come to Me
the more trials you shall face all because
the Tempter will want to witness your failures
and watch you be separated from Me...

unless a grain falls and dies
it shall not bear fruits of many more seeds
See I have made winter to come
so that in slumber, the earth shall then see
life bloom after the wintry episode...

See winter though looked at nature's stage of dying
may seem mournful to you at the very first...
yet in winter the earth has rehabilitate
its spirit rejuvenate
will produce sprouts of kindling flowers to fill the world
with colours after being white for so long...

Do not worry, O beloved
and cast your worries on Me
for I shall lead the way...
Do not O beloved for My spirit rests in you...

Be bold, be steadfast...and be true to yourself
for if one forgets himself it's the most tragic of all...


cast yourself in hopeless dismay

Man cannot know
nor their measure assume
the most glorious love, grace and mercy
I desire to give you every second on end...
Blessed is he then who stands firm till the end...
shall be rejoicing and praising My name in Heaven
forever amen...

Man cannot know...nor comprehend
the reward My Heavenly Father shall bestow on those who stand firm till the very end...

Trust in Me...O beloved
and know that you shall overcome
for I overcame them all in the beginning...

Then with the blistery wind and the cold skies
the clouds were now tainted with cordial pink and orange laced still with lilac and blue...
then Jesus the Lord, Most Sovereign of all...shall rule Heaven and earth for endless ages...

In the howling winds
in this solitary place
I shall always see God's most Holy face....

He held out a hand
and said to me gently...
"Shall you come, hold my hand and follow Me?"

My soul cried out; "Here I am O Lord..."
I shall continue lamenting but this...
I shall hold your hand...and bless you in all that you work...
