In the Hall of The King

"Hurry up!" my friend said
as I raced to the car.
"We're going to be late!"
Though it wasn't very far.

I rolled down my window,
to feel the gentle breeze,
I heard few sounds,
except the dangling keys.

When all of the sudden,
In the blink of an eye,
A car smashed into my door,
'Am I going to die?!'

My head flung back,
The air bags smashed out,
I winced in pain,
People started to shout.

Shards of glass penetrated my skin,
Blood trickled down my face.
'What is going on?'
My mind was in a haze.

I couldn't move,
I was very scared.
I didn't want to die,
I wasn't prepared.

I heard sirens approach,
and people crowd around.
I knew this would be,
the talk of the town.

'Lord please help me
to leave a legacy for all,
even though my difference,
was so extremely small'

Why did it have to be me,
For it hurt so, so much,
I couldn't stand the pain,
it was everywhere I touched.

A few minutes later,
which seemed like forever,
my door creaked open,
like a rusty old lever.

I could see nothing
and tasted only blood.
Someone moved me
like a fragile rose bud.

Carefully they laid me down
on a cold, hard place.
I think they could tell I was scared
by the expression on my face.

"You're going to be okay."
They whispered uncertainly.
I lay there in agony
and it seemed like eternity.

I started to get cold
It was hard to breath.
I knew in my heart
that is was time to leave.

'I love you mom.'
I thought in my head
'I love you dad.
A tear I shed.

Medics rushed over
as I began to go
they did all they could,
but they just didn\'t know.

I felt a great shock
as I drifted into "sleep."
'Please don't save me.'
I thought way down deep.

And then, it happened.
I felt nothing.
I heard nothing.
I saw nothing.

My senses were numb
and my body felt useless.
It wasn't worth anything,
just a nuisance.

When I opened my eyes
I saw a great hall,
filled with priceless treasures,
from wall to wall.

Luscious drapes flowed down the windows.
Great rugs adorned the floors.
With my eyes I could see
Glorious banners over the doors.

My pain was gone,
my wounds no more.
Every bit renewed,
to my very core.

So free I felt
not a worry to name!
And everyone in the room,
must have felt the same.

The smell I can't describe
for 'twas incredibly amazing.
A massive feast was laid out
many people already grazing.

And then as I looked up
I saw at the end of the hall
a very great Person
sitting up tall.

His brilliance was blinding
His glory unbearable!
I found I couldn't look at Him
it made my eyes feel terrible.

My knees began to shake
as I filled again with fear
He looked on me with love
I responded with a tear.

"Why do you fear?"
He asked me when I cried.
His voice was strong and powerful
yet gentle and sweet inside.

I trembled at his voice
and just could not respond
He waited there with patience
for very very long.

I fell to my knees before Him
and cried out from my heart.
My words sounded like nonsense
even from the start.

But instead of looking upon me
as a stupid imitation
He placed on me a crown
as reward for my salvation.

He then seated me at his table
so I could join the celebration.
I dove right in right then and there
without a single hesitation.

No words were said
no prayer was done.
Because He was It.
He was The One.
