I entered where the timber bends, where light is taught to kneel
A thousand paths in quiet war between the false and real
The ground remembered every step I'd ever tried to hide
And branches whispered older names I learned to walk beside
Each mile was sewn with borrowed breath, each choice a narrowing seam
The forest dressed in borrowed gold, then shed it like a dream
I sang to keep the dark at bay, I sang to name the truth
Unknowing every note I gave was bending time in two
The birds fell still, the air grew thin, the road refused to rise
And something waited where the light was learning how to die
ย
He stepped from shadow, robed in calm, no rattle, blade, or flame
A monarch made of ending soft, a patience carved in name
His voice was winter without storm, his smile a settled debt
He spoke as if the dust itself had never learned regret
"You've wandered long," he said to me, "as all the breathing do
I've counted every oath you broke and every good you knew
I keep what's earned, I close the book, I salt the page with time
Eternity is mine to give, and yours is only mine"
He named my nights, my hidden loves, the debts I could not pay
He spoke as if the weight of truth was
Final in its say, was final in its say
ย
"You end where all your kind must end, I am the truest door
No altar saves, no crown can claim what breath was borrowed for
The forest always feeds the soil, the singer feeds the ground
I am the silence after sound, the loss that won't be found"
I felt the ache of every sin rise honest in my chest
Yet something burned beneath his words that would not let them rest
For in his voice was ancient fear disguised as measured lore
A confidence that sounded learned, but learned before a flaw
I saw it thenโhis hand still shook, though centuries had passed
As if he'd missed a moment once that still outpaced him fast
So I drew breath where breath was thin, and spoke not loud but clear
The way one names a shadow wrong so light can interfere
"You speak of ends," I said to him, "of ledgers sealed in bone
But you're forgetting something, Deathโyou've never been alone
There was a night you did not win, a dawn you could not keep
A borrowed tomb, an empty slab, a silence cut too deep
You thought the Lamb was just like me, another soul to claim
You did not know you touched a King who stepped inside your name
He didn't fight you with a sword, nor curse you into dust
He let you take Him at your word, then broke you with your trust
You swallowed Him like all the rest, but grace has sharper teeth
And what you thought was final breath was resurrection's grief
The forest stirred, the dark stepped
Back, the road learned how to rise
And Death stood still, not roaring loud, just smaller in his eyes
I passed him then, still singing soft, my shadow no longer his
For Death had learned, too late, one truth: my King had ended him
And though he walks in whispers still, his throne is only air
A rumor fading in the light of life he cannot bear
