Reaper

The souls of living things

They are warm

They are strong

But the souls of those past

Or taken too young

Are frail

Fragmented and torn

I take them all

Lead them away

And then move on

Noone can see my face

But everyone

Knows

My

Name


The author's comments:

My grandmother recently passed away, and it made me think about the after life, and how sad the job of a grim reaper must really be. Either he leads a soul to a better place, one that he will never be able to enter, or he must send them, screaming and crying in agony, into a fiery pit of suffering for all eternity.
