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
