White City

Poem/dream December 19th 2011

In a dream I saw a white city with great walls and majestic halls beneath the sun

walking about I asked what does this white City mean to me Father? I mentioned

 

"This city of white that we both walk about is your heart my son"

if my heart is this city then where are the soldiers to guard it? I questioned

 

wandering to the highest tower I saw a vast army outside the city wall trying to breach it

Who are those people or things that try to gain entrance to this city? I asked my King

 

"My child, those are things of this world who wish to crush and destroy your city, do not fret".

But the walls will not last forever or keep out this darkness, how do overcome such thing

 

"Let us go and explore this vast city, for in this place are many rooms to the armory we must go".

 So following my Father into the depths of this great city as armies outside laid siege with weapons of war

 

Deep deep within the inner walls we made our way to the city's armory where sword, armor and bow.

darkness fled from the light as we examined each piece of armor and sword that laid about the floor

 

But there are so many kinds of swords, several kinds of shields and suites of armor which one shall I take?

"There is only one breastplate, shield, belt, sandals, helmet and sword that you my son will ever need".

 

"Now that you are equipped let us return and examine the battle or this city's defense's will break."

as we passed threw the majestic halls walking about the high walls I noticed others soldiers I did lead

 

"Look out across the land, if you remain in me and I in you these walls will always stand and never fall."

My Lord, looking about the walls I see in some places where the walls have fallen and been repaired

 

"My precious child, those places in the walls are those times in life when you ran and did not heed my call."

so thinking to myself I wondered still, those times when you reveal things to me and shared?

 

"Such things are often parts of my plan that you are allowed to have a little glimpse knight of the white city."

I still am often confused my King, for I wish to know more about such things that I may do your will

 

"All in due time valiant friend, all in due time...be still and wait for my instruction, guard this city."

Yes my King as I draw my sword and move to the outer walls, a quiet peace washes over me as love does fill
