I stand
before them all-
as bones, and blood,
and flesh.

Judgement
they proclaim
with earthly force enow
to justify such claim.

A breaking point comes,
that must be stood.
Tho' waters swell the wall,
it matters not.

No, not at all.

For life
so briefly met
now calls.

To stand before
the endless hordes. . .

I to task
will be at last
a man
before I fall.
