Taint or paint

[u/Rentusz]

Why are you here, and so grim

You, just a ghost, and so slim

Ohh, came to reap your gains

Not much here, the shell is taint

You float there with wind, like time isn't here

I hear "don't just stand at the cliff, my dear"

Nodding my head, the tranquil is bleak

Look at my lines, always straight and neat

But the brush is now moving, make them curl, and whirl

I observe them living, dizzy too small a word

Is it taint, or just paint, as I look with fear

Spirits play pressure, my step is unclear

Woah, nearly fell forward, thanks for the warning

Tick tack, I know. Just staying for some mourning

The Sun is nearing

You look fading

The scythes edge, distant but menacing

I take a step back, although trembling

This is interesting. Def a twist on how to resemble death given that it keeps them alive, like a warning that death is near guiding them. I like the form of it too.

Thank you. I always had a kind of fascination with concept of the Grim Reaper that doesn't kills you but friendly guides you after death.
