None Die Ever

In a forgotten land, beyond the veil
Stands a castle, ancient, cold as gale
Within its walls, a guardian does wait
To judge all souls that pass the castle gate.

When one's life has reached its final hour,
Their spirit summoned to the castle's tower.
Met by the guardian who does appraise,
If they are worthy to pass through the maze.

The guardian of the castle is wise,
For he knows what lies beyond the skies.
He cannot allow anyone to enter,
Until they encounter déjà vu and master the answers of the center.

For beyond the castle's gate,
Lies a spirit guide and an orientation hall,
Where those who have passed away,
Are given a chance to recall.

There's far more life in the universe,
Than we could ever possibly know.
And the guardian knows this to be true,
For he has seen it all before, even though you think he does not have a clue.

So if you dare to enter the castle's gate,
Be prepared to face your fate.
For the guardian will not let you in,
Until you have mastered the answers within.

"Tell me traveler, what wisdom have you gained?
From life's long journey, what truth attained?"
If ignorance and folly you still possess
Entry shall be barred, your soul left to recess.

But those who've learned life's great mysteries,
May proceed unto the Orientation Hall.
Where guides await to reveal all,
Of what lies beyond the mortal pall

Yet heed this warning before passage earned,
Not all that glistens within is what you yearned.
For there are secrets never meant to know,
Verities that only bring torment and woe.

So tread with care inside these shadowed walls,
Lest you unleash what should not be recalled.
For powers long dormant here do lie,
That could bring even angels to die.

If you unlock forbidden wisdom's door,
You'll unleash what should remain no more.
So consider well your choice of key,
Not all knowledge meant for you to see.

The guardian watches all with Timeless eye,
Deciding who may pass and who shall be denied.
None can circumvent his ironclad decree,
For he alone holds the castle's ancient key.

Those who've learned life's purpose and lived it well,
Pass through the maze unto eternal swell.
While the foolish and corrupt are banished below,
Where aimless shadows ever come and go.

So ponder life while still on Earth you dwell,
Lest you face the guardian's justice fell.
For only the wise and pure of heart,
Shall pass unto the life beyond in part.
