Resident Artist 3: No. 2 — The Reaper
See the Reaper
Bent and worn and old
Being surrounded by death
Will do that to you
And time, as we know
Waits for no man
Time does not fear the Reaper
Living with ghosts
The whispers of the dead
Haunted
An old and fading Hunter
Hunted
See the Reaper
Deafened and hunched and mad
Cursed by the screams
Of ten thousand souls
Yet on he walks
To his next grisly task
He knows better than to run
His eons of service draw to close
Duty done and penance paid
The Reaper longs for death
The velvet embrace
Of blessed sleep

Awesomely dark and creative!
Beautiful and sad at the same time!
