He stands in the corner <br />A presence always felt <br />Features gentled by shadow <br />Softened by candles flickering <br />His waiting has just begun <br />For the spirit remaining still <br />Emotion permeates the air <br />Surrounding him in this room <br />Silence drenched with his pain <br />Some-one must guide them home <br />When their souls leave the ground <br />He doesn't want this mission <br />He doesn't want their pain <br />Yet somehow he will carry <br />This weight on wings that will enfold <br />And comfort spirits with the light <br />That shines from his tenderness <br />Sleep well within his embrace <br />For he only seeks to ease <br />Not grim at all his, visage <br />Just the reaper of all souls<br /><br />Fiona Davidson<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/unwanted-weight/
