Poem: The Reaper


 

Coloring pencils, markers and highlighters on paper.

 

The Reaper

Like a cloud
on a mountain
    on top 
    of the sea

I rest
on your shoulder
    quiet
    and free

Like a raindrop
or dew
    in a field
    of stone

I am one
and many
    unique
    and alone

Like a sheep
with wool
    black
    as night

I am ready
to listen
    scatter
    or fight

Like a sigh
from a soul
    yet
    to exist

I am writing
your name
    on an endless
    list
