The Reaper

As I came home the other day
I met death along the way
His sickle pressed against his cloak
He made no sound until he spoke
Take heed my mortal friend
All things that begin must surely end
I must say I felt some surprise
To see the reaper before my eyes
So I asked, Good reaper, sir
Have you ended all things that were?
Yes, and all things that will be he said with a grin
For you see dear boy, I am the end.
I pondered over what the phantom had said
His words were burning in my head
So I did cautiously inquire;
Are you the master of death and fire?
I wield the flames only hell can send
That shall damn all sinners in the end.
As I stood before this effigy of doom
Who for all I knew could end me soon
I asked, But are you not damned? Have you not sinned?
Every time youve used your sickle to reap souls in?
Indeed I often use my sickle to rend
But it is impossible to end the end.
I must depart, I have souls to reap
But in your mind my warnings keep,
It may be one year, it may be four
But I shall come knocking on your door
You live on time which I generously lend
But well meet when I decide it is the end.
Now kind reader, listen a bit more
And take heed from this ominous metaphor
Should you happen to meet death one day
And he has not come to take you away
Observe him from a distance, and learn my friend
That you not fear him when he comes in the end.
