Invisible Reaper(Expanded)

I wrote a piece for a contest about death in ten words or less. This is the expanded version of it.

  

Don’t fear the fog

It is just nature’s blanket.

Don’t fear religion

It is just man’s word against God’s.

Death is unpredictable,

Death is inevitable.

Just live life to the fullest

For you’ll never hear his footsteps’

You’ll never see the sickle swinging…

When it does the effect is permanent.

I adore fog ! but I from the sounds of it ..I think we have a different fog than where you are ! Great message & writing ... sliding in sideways !

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much... it might just be the fog in my mind.

At the rise of day and noontime sun
When evening be and mid-night come
Down deep in a sea soaring high in a sky
Slashing and gleaning with sickle beware
The Grim Reaper shall appear .. ..

In the gaiety of youth and aging rattle
At that new life cry and amidst every battle
With many a company and alone in despair
Slashing and gleaning with sickle beware
That Grim Reaper shall appear ..

[J. J. Nightingale]

But now you know, I have a dark side ..lol ............. xxxxx :).........

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

We all have a dark side... it is how we use that defines our character.

True Dat !

Good poem with an understandable message. But the words "Don't fear religion/It is just man's word against God's" make a poem by themselves. I wish I'd thought of it.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you very much :)

[LA Lorena]

I like this. Maybe I will just take to walking backwards.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Hmmmm, that could work, or get a pair of glasses with mirrors on them.

[Relic]

Excellent ending and poem in general.

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Thank you sir.

[KAOlmsted]

Oh I love this. I'm so glad you go through your six million pages of poetry every now and then and feature some of the old ones we may have missed ;-)

[The Rock And Roll Cowboy(REBEL WITH A CAUSE)]

Well thank you... Gotta share the past while remembering myself.

[KAOlmsted]

Indeed. My pleasure.
