Chasm Below

this is a story/poem thing i wrote based off a dream i had last night

Souls set on fire with wind in their hair set off on a journey from the edge of nowhere.
Climbing great mountains and glaciers with all in between.
Though no one expected this great site they see, for a top a vast mountain a chasm has formed reaching below the firey pits of what we know as Hell.
The travelers move onward to the chasm below.
When rocks tumble downward the weakest are shown cascading into the deep, troubled gorge.
Not many left standing, but the ones that still do continue their journey to the place that is new.
The perilous journey continues till dusk.
When midnight does come a great many are lost.
Waifs that are hungry for fresh tasty meat prey on the humans all fast asleep.
Though one traveler makes it lone through the night and wakes in the morning to see the great fright.
Alone he still travels to the chasm he fears, and strides to the edge stunned by the whisper he hears,
"Do not fear my calling the end is not near. Come join us, together we'll live on through the years.
This gorge that you stand on is not as it seems. We bid eternal life to the few who jump in willingly."
The traveler so tempted, so excited with glee!
For what could be better than a life being free.
He jumps into the chasm and waits for rebirth,
Though soon will he find, not all voices bare truth.
