ONE
In the halls of truth
which open
…just before
you arrive
at the gates
of heaven
It has been
suggested thus,
saint peter
is but another wraith
The humble doorman
…should a spirit
be self+judged worthy
Having walked
the course
of fate
…be wary
where you dare
to tread,
Whose soul
you touch
…determines
which part
of your heart is judged
There is no harder task than that …
Truer hearts than ours
…have fought this war,
pained and suffered much
Still too many more
have fallen short
…to find
their dreams denied
Given more than their share
Discord and strife
…so that others might survive
Countless
courageous
wounded souls
have bled this path before you
Though many cry
for some
obscure sense of freedom
…to be restored
Be careful
what you pray for
…its cost is not so
easily procured
still
though the path
be hard and long
do not lose heart…
Do not worry
for minor indiscretions
are ignored
In the course
of things
much greater
hanging
…in the balance
Your part
to maintain the dream
…your share
of the reward
Dare you
demand more
…pray justice
stays its sword
Before you’ve
mastered
the basic
understanding
and make
meaningful contribution
to just course
…of this
life’s accord
If truth and love
becomes your creed
…thus endowed
You may pass
through
the gates
…well received
And if your life
is judged well
Pray that
a higher power
exists
As time will tell
Sufficient
before those
proven beyond doubt
In the light
of wisdom shared
…be aware, here
False pretense
is not allowed
…fools are banned
for after+life
If you be born
100,000 times
more+again
…be merciful,
that you might
be spared
before
the
…one
more
chance to
one
love/to
one
mind
…in
Time
