Death's Minions

I saw a dark mass
A floating dying being
Looking fierce, deadly
Wanting to steal away souls
Hope it’s not looking for me

Eerie piece Russel, captures the fear of death quite nicely and personifies it in a most frightening manner, I am sure it's not looking for you just yet though old chap :) Great poem.
