Grim Reaper

He is what people dread When they are old confined to their bed They imagine him with eyes glowing red He is the grim reaper lord of the dead And indeed reaper is sad but with tears in his eyes As he looks to the linen blue skies Somewhere beyond where eagle flies In different dimension heaven lies There somewhere in the boundless expanse Beyond the place where angels dance Holly Spirit is reflected in Raziel when God gives him a glance The mystery of divine imbues Raziel like holly romance Reaper also mysterious is he But to collect souls is his destiny He is rarely welcomed but sometimes he will set the soul free When God decides with him souls’ place is to be Maybe even among mysteries by Holly Spirit reflected With Raziel into knowledge expanse soul resurrected There by divine blessed With wisdom expanded Maybe the soul of a hero is sent there Maybe someone who looked after others welfare Or maybe the one who most of his own wisdom with others would share Or maybe someone who always done what he would swear One man looked with jealousy at the reaper because reaper was master of life and lord of the dead Reaper looked at him and don’t be sad he said Look at the azure skies up ahead Maybe rather than to my kingdom you will join God and be granted his mysteries instead
