The Scene of Collecting Souls

Under the huge tree of creation 
Sits down the scent of death 
On the round chair of air 
Putting his hands of shadow 
Upon the adjacent table of ether 
Carefully he keeps a keen watch 
On the ripples
Created by the falling sound of leaves 
Like a ray 
He stands up after hearing a roar 
And rushes down to the door of waves 
To collect the soul 
From the chest of the identified star.
