Reaper ( Dark Series 8 of 10 )
A hooded skeleton, drapped in red and black, holds a scythe in its hand.
Standing in the shadows, waiting for the next assignment.
No one is exempt from the meeting, every person from every land.
Coming to both public places and solitary confinement.

The Reaper will not say a word, turning his back as you magnetically follow.
So many ways that the souls will go.
Some are happily ready while others want to stay, and they're filled with sorrows.
Nothing to take with them, no riches or objects to show.

Catching such a bad vibe, but just doing what he's made to do.
A silent transporter between this world and what ever is over the horizon of the beyond.
No encouragement, no advice as you know that your life is through.
It is advised that you don't try to ask any questions, he'll not respond.

No, there's no way of avoiding this meeting of that tall, dark and silent wonder.
But, many of us have so much to do, it can't be today.
Enjoying this life with it's sunshine and thunder.
Because the Reaper is well on his way.
