The Book of the Dead

Thoughts of immortality

When I stand in that great hall of justice,

when my deeds in life are weighed...

against the feather of truth

by Anubis.

Will I tremble in fear

or stand tall

          and straight

confident of the outcome?

 

 

Tehuty will record on a scroll

... he alone judges my fate.

How well does my established truth

sit against the powers of evil?

Does my book of deeds...

a texbook of my life,

         my spirituality

measure up against the book of truth?

 

 

I have lived several lives in different places

between each life is a veil of shadows.

When new doors open I shall see

where my feet have trodden.

Have I embraced life with truth,

sowing the seeds of eternity

          to live again

in death?

Splendid. I love the Egyptian mythos. Great work.

I like the Egyptian theme to this very much. Good job.
