memento mori
Splashing along
In muddy water
Past the wall
Behind which
The off white
Ageless
Stones stare
Back at
Wanderers
And seekers
And pilgrims
And guests
Memento Mori
Seeking words
In ancient
Tomes of beauty
From long list
Of names
From long lost
Homes
And forgotten
Names
Of every type
And custom
And history
Memento Mori
All the fears
Drawing near
Reduced by
Existentialist
Humanist
Atheism
Dodging hellfire
Fear of
Not arriving
At final destination
In acknowledgement
Of travellers
Terminus
Memento Mori
