The ghostly figure walked
along the old rusted bridge
life flashing before him
on this night did eternity hinge
Long ago
on a fateful night
the man encountered a Being
bathed in bright light
The Being gave him the option
to know the total of his days
to have great wealth
and to do things his own way
The man chose
to live his life in mystery
at the end to be accountable
for his place in history
The ghostly figure
walking along the bridge
meets the Light
and he begins to cringe
All the sudden before him
is a record of all his deeds
afraid of the karma
he is about to receive
Quietly the Light
begins to speak
the man cowers
he feels so weak
Judgement drawn
karma trumped by grace
the man is astonished
his misdeeds erased
Following the Light
the man begins to dance
paradise is embracing him
he has another chance
