Thank you all for the kind comments I received on my last poem. Another
late night, another inspiration. Here it is.....I don't think it's as good
as the last one, but it's got a more original topic, I may do a better poem
with this topic later.

A King Dies

My time is close at hand,
Aiheu unknots all my earthly ties.
My pride's tears fall upon the sand
They cry as their King dies.

I gasp my one last breath,
and all the pain is gone.
I feel the peacefulness of death
And the spirit cloak I don.

As I walk through the silver trees
of heavens bayou.
Each shining sapling bends to it's knees
as my subjects used to do.

I tread up a shining corridor,
Each wall lined with past kings.
as I pass each gives a mighty roar
Welcoming me to their relm far above mortal things.

I walk through two massive marble gates
I beheld a light, shining of every possible hue.
It sought out all my fears and hates,
And in my heart I knew its name, The Life Giver Aiheu.

I took my place beside him on a throne
>From which I could see my past kingdom from afar,
With an inner light me and the seat shone,
And with joy, I realized I was a star.
