A Proverb Worth of Consideration

I read the verse -

......I have not found instruction nor gained wisdom from the Holy one......

As i pondered on that one verse i gained another verse

.... I will find instruction, gain knowledge and understanding from the holy one...

A proverb worthy of consideration

And i went to the carpenters shop and bought my bed
back home i assembled it and put the bedding in place
In its head board a pattern reminding me of angels
I could see the throne of Mercy opening...
And me entering, i could see huge Seraphim 
Their sight burning a hole in my countenance

I approach the throne of mercy..
And mine soul refuses to go back home
For the head rest of my bed is engraved
Is engraved - The wings of a Mighty Cherubim

Am embarrassed to say that i had to Google cherubim and seraphim. When i first read your poem i was wondering what those things were. I was like ,is he naming characters from movies? Lol. But now i know what you are talking about. I think reading your poem made me realize that i need to open the bible and actually read it.
