I never thought the last view I’d see
would be you sent off to the fire
Your body now just a shell
still I know who you are
a father I’ve loved
mortal, now gone
nothing left
but ash
bone

Beautiful, and now that I’ve Googled “Memento Mori” I’ve learned something new as well!
Just don’t look at all those mementos before going to bed 🙂
Have you seen the movie, “The Others” with Nicole Kidman? It mentions memento mori there, and it’s one of my favorite scary movies 🙂
No, I haven’t – I’ll have to look it up!
