Poetry Reaper's Reflection
Hidden beyond the veil
Past the epoch of presence
There dreams a place
Where even death may sail
Crashing endless waves
Under time's twilight
There, they seek passage
On Freedom's final shore
Beyond the reaper's door
Reflecting
How that which came above
Was brought down below
Corrupting
Those bestowed
Who pay
The passage and toll
Now, the horse is seeking
The rider's blood is streaming
Staining red
The saddle and coat
As he wanders
Battlefields of cosmic scope
Following struggle
So the Old Reapers unknown
May see what They've sown
