At the weirdly uncomfortable stillness of the graveyard, I can feel your presence.
In the very heart of the silence of the night, I can hear your rustling sounds, moving the dead leaves across the graveyard's ground.
Behind the blackened gravestones, I can see your creepy shadow moving swiftly from grave to grave.
On the tops of the leafless branches that pointing their long bony fingers towards the sky,
as if they are trying to engrave deep cutting into the moon's face,
I can feel your malicious aggression.
Through the cracks in the graveyard's walls, I can feel your frighting eyes waiting impatiently for new victims.
The black garments, dressed by widows, tell tales about the impact of your tragic strikes.
The shedding of bitter tears of orphaned children, says a lot about the impact of your woeful attacks.
In the appalling eerie aura that enshrouds the deserted old houses, I can see your hideous victory.
But still, seeing the first beam of the glorious sunlight, I can feel your trembling heart and your uncontrollable overwhelming fear.
But still, seeing the glorious splendor of sunbeams, I can feel your terror, and I can see your humiliating tears begging for mercy.
But still, because of the unshakable belief in the inevitable upcoming Resurrection, I can bear witness to your crushing defeat, and the fall of your fake pride to its knees.

That grim reaper can only take our bodies but Our Spirit will never be taken.
Andy
That is so true Andy!
That's why we should fear the ''One'' who is able to destroy the body and the soul, not the the one who can destroy the body alone.
Thank you Andy for pinpointing this crucial issue.
A fine write Samer.
Strangely maybe, we may see the Grim reaper as having some beauty. If the serpent in Eden had been grotesque, would not Adam and Eve have run away from it in fear, in the first place?
That is not me in the pic, on a bad hair-day! (heehee).
Yes, the serpent might look attractive and alluring in order to be able to approach anyone and convey its message.
I am sure you still look so great whether it is your hair-day or not.
Oohh, but I washed my hair, and now can't do a thing with it - as they say! lol.
I don't know if it possible to ask a hairdresser to come home?
I'm not sure these days. I only joke about my hair - at present anyway!
Nicely dark Samer. Nicely dark.
Thank you so much, Jerry!
I agree! It is one of the main issues of painting or fine arts in general, is how to draw an attractive picture from any commonplace or awful scene.
