There was once a King that was willing to give his kingdom for a horse to escape Death.
Be sure of have make your peace with the God before it happen, by believing you can earn all, by not believing can cause you to lose it all.


Poem Artwork






At the end of your journey they said
“you will climb the stair rung by rung”
when your number are at last called,
the number of the rungs are thirty nine,
not to the heavens they will be taken,
just to the gallows, condemned man!

Since your bird patiently waiting is he,
holding sharp the scythe a merciless one,
doesn’t matter to him if you were happy
or if you had down here a miserable life,
he will cut with pleasure the head off
of a guilty tyrant or of an innocent child.

Even Jesus was forced to walk the steps
even if they weren’t those thirty nine
nobody escape the gallows after been born
from a conceiving womb that was mortal,
only the Father can answer all your questions
only Him has the reason that says why.

Some climb rung by rung at the end of all
with regret and a heavy load in their hearts,
others will go peacefully to their very end
showing no fear but with an hopeful smile,
because there is not horse for your kingdom
and you can try to run, but you can’t hide.

How true- this reminded me a bit of Oscar Wilde's "Ballad of Reading Gaol" in its message and depth.

how one deals with the end will definitely affect the outcome of where you're going ... only the strong will survive death ...

King Henry was wise, but brutal. In the end we must all face our maker and how we live in his garden will determine the rest. A inspirational wonder...

Be always safe,

Intense write that definately stirs up dark images and wonderment as to what is to be our final fate and how we shall stand as we walk into our judgement spot. Love that picture as well.
