Dare You Character? Poem by Gert Strydom

Dare you character accompany me
into the unknown that lies beyond life,
to a place where no man truly knows
how it is going to be?

Dare you character accompany me
to a place where there is no awareness,
no feelings or thoughts
in the depths of death?

Dare you character accompany me
to a place where no one is really free
until that great trumpet of God does roar?

Dare you character accompany me
to a place where the whole world does change
from what it was before?

Dare you character come along forevermore
to the shining gates of heaven
or the burning portals of hell
in that last awakening?
