And what is there, lying beyond your mind?
A gracious greeting, or death warrant, signed?

When your sun is settling down on western sands,
Who will await you, stretching out their hands?

Are they holding your heart with reverence due,
or a knife, with which to strike straight through?

At the end of that hallway, what blocks your descent?
A saintly soul, or sins to repent?

In every tunnel, there are doors to inspect.
Some to show the future, others to reflect.

No one door, to paradise, leads.
No one road to bear the swiftest of steeds.

Yet, to Hell, there is no certainty still,
Mountains can't be climbed when there is no hill.

And so, dear child, what waits for you,
when your time has come and your life is through?

Can Heaven be hidden behind these doors,
or damnation, your sins to be counted by scores?

A desert dry or the lushest of lands?
Well, open the door, my dear child, and...
There she be, my piece for the final round of :iconwriters--club: Writing Tournament 2013!! The theme was "What Awaits at the Farthest Ends," to be interpreted as we see fit.

The hallway we all walk, going every which way, is a long one. And who is to say what is waiting for us?

Comments and critiques are always appreciated. Is this a weak effort, or something worthy of reading?

Just wanted to thank all the awesome judges at :iconwriters--club: to have even considered me good enough to be part of this contest, and I give my heartfelt hopes to my fellow contestants. I have read their works, and I am honoured to stand amongst them.

LET THE BEST WORKS WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIN!!!!
