Momento Mori

The days pass quickly
The nights never end
Death lingers thickly
Around the dark bend

The hourglass looms
As sand slowly falls
Our impending doom
The Grim Reaper calls

Our own reflection
Decays more each day
There's no protection
In dirt we will lay

The sun slowly sets
On your life and mine
We loose all the bets
From birth, we decline

Don't ever forget
This sad, grim story
We are all beset...
...By Momento Mori
A 'momento mori' poem. Obviously. :)
