Memento mori.

light fades from unholy eye,
butterfly looks to the sky,
as we question why,

hourglass swiftly flies by
and yet will time.. sigh

"Respice post te! Hominem te memento!"

you paint such a vivid picture. You're quite the artist, and do a superbe job at placing it in the exact right frame. Very well done.
