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.

Be yourself, an enduring message. Nature as a person using a blanket, a sharing of the self.

Old English proverb - ' Cowards die many times before their death. The brave only once.'

Nicely stated. Did you mean to use the play on the word hear/here?

This is a great way to say don't take a moment for granted for tomorrow is not promised to anyone. I love the visuals in this piece. Especially the second to last line.

I read this earlier and it made me smile.. I know weird.. The reason is.. I just love the visual you have given to the message... To go from the comfort of the fog to the sickle swinging..it's pretty awesome.. :) xx
