A seraphim flies over my head
as i walk thru this world of dead
making my way to an earthy bed
one day to call my own
and in the lofty heights i find
things play soften tricks of kind
that warp and spay and taunt my mind
of things i've never known
watched over by my heavenly friend
the remaining hours and days i'll spend
searching for a fitting end
of which i can atone
to raise above that firey hell
of fire and brim and soot and smell
where pleasures end and tormented yell
and hope i'm not alone
for while that grace is so sweet
another like me i've yet to meet
for the callouses about my feet
have given way to bone
and my fatigued body begins to sway
as night goes on and conquers day
and i walk on with the wolves at bay
with my few smooth stones
and sling in hand i'm willing to fight
for things of war considered right
and scared for my life i might
betray that holy throne
who's guide has been so kind to me
has watched me close but let me be
and reports what my God can see
and what he can't condone.

Are scarecrows just like men, and do you hold
That a false coin is just as good as gold?

Wonderful imagery well done

Let your heart guide you. It whispers, so listen closely.
