Don't fear the reaper

No description

It was the night of the new moon
An unsettled feeling clung to me
Like a noose around my neck
the breeze was still
as if the earth was deliberately holding her breath
Fear seeped in-
Where are my stars?
The night sky that once was a comfort
Now threatens to devour my world
My head is spinning
I feel faint
I wasn't sure if I was looking up or down
Down
into a blackened inkwell
My story.
and all the things I still wanted to say-
papers strewn carelessly
Blown by a sudden strong wind
I fell into a darkness
In his arms
He greeted me with the glow of the wolf moon
in his hair
Reminding me of January
The last time we said our goodbyes
Amid the cold and winter night
A hearthstone
In his eyes
Steal my breath away.
He was beautiful, as he was haunting
Take me in,
Away
Into the glorious fire
I never felt more alive
As we danced
Dance with The Reaper

here i almost see the reaper as the muse...staring into that dark inkwell of thoughts, wondering if they will die before they reach the white paper...

love the imagery here....and i also found myself humming that song all the way through the reading.

a little Blue Oyster Cult..."please don't fear the reaper"

and probably there is no need to fear him...

Thank you J. I appreciate your thoughts. Very perceptive.

And Yes. I was indeed listening to Blue Oyster Cult. That song has been playing in my mind for a while now...:)

Guess it depends on just how GRIMM he is. Valentine

[RomaJ]

Yes, indeed. I would hope for a happier fairytale. Grimm can be rather dark...:) Thank you Valentine.
