Memento mori.
Life is but a fleeting thing
& we do not have long
Upon our floating blue rock.
Remember to live
For all those who went before
For all those who come after.
We live.
We remember who came before.

“Katrina. Whose skull is that?”
“Oh. That’s just a #MementoMori. Death motif. Philosophical thing. You know, the whole ‘impermanence of life’ and such—”
“Katrina. That was not my question, and you know it.”
“...”
“Whose sk—Katrina, do not throw that skull at me!”

He kept his #wings hidden under a heavy cloak, and kept to himself. This worked, until a Beastkin joined the party. She stared at him with green cat-eyes, and whispered, “I know what you are. You smell like the relics my people keep. You smell of angel bones.”

“We’re on a quest to steal the #Eternal Flame of the gods!”
“Um. Ever heard of Prometheus? Clever chap, gets his liver ripped out on the daily?”
The party's mage pulled him aside. “Our leader's been Charmed by his ex, we’re actually on a quest to find a cure.”

“Tell me what to do, Grandmother. How can I bring her back?”
The old woman laid a hand on her head, kind but unyielding. “No one can bring the dead back, child of #longing. Any who say otherwise is lying. Grieve now, but do not drown in it. Tell me of your love.”

“There are tales of an ancient sorceress who could counter the forces of Evil. But her name and works have long fallen out of #remembrance.”
“Her name was Hildegarde,” Zephyr snapped, “and I literally have her journals right here. The elves remember everything.”

memento mori.
too many leave us
without graves to mark their passing.
they are dust, a footnote in a newspaper,
and sometimes John Doe. Jane Doe.
but to be marked
to be planted in a field
with other effigies,
a crop of morbidity.
says remember me still
to help me live on.

Memento mori. What else was I supposed to do when it surrounded my every moment? When Death laughed in my face and took my life away? Memento Mori. For what purpose? To remember the pain? Or to try and keep living?

Wings were not meant to run on apathy, but they can function well if you don't care what it takes to elevate them.
The Frankensteined things in the air abound. Sometimes they block out the sun. Sometimes they take out someone else's.

you seek to capture heaven's wings,
turn them into your chariot,
your personal train.
leave the rest!
but the others are just pieces of you,
and you chop them up to feed
the pigeons
as carrion birds in your wake.

She caught the tears and carried them
On her pale wings
Straight to the heavens.
It was not sorrow she took
But love. Always love.

You live in the journey in-between, and the span will be closer to eternal than any of your fore-bearers But it's still so far from it that the idea of eternity ... you're beginning to think all it does is trip a limited being up.

I see the gruesome visage of Death
looming upon the horizon.
I do not know if I should be afraid
or welcome the bliss of an eternal sleep.
what waits
in the darkness after?
is there such
or has our desire to keep living
blinded us to the truth?
that what lingers
isn't alive.

The flame was lit eternal
So that hope would not perish,
So that we would always remember
Those who came before
Lost to the ravages of war.
We keep their memories
Burning in our hearts.

We can all only hope for such a fate as hers. A ride to heaven in the wings of an archangel. What a fate indeed. Unfortunately, most fates are nowhere near as grand. Most people simply arrive as the next in line. Doesn't matter which direction, neither side has much time for ordinary

Is pain eternal? Is that all we are, is pain? Life exists in the struggle. But can we define ourselves without it? Is the fear of pain so great that we even fear a life after this of pain? Can we not discover a way to simply exist instead of ensure? Perhaps, but it won't be me who does

There goes Little Red, ever #carefree, with scarlet mouth and hitched-up skirts.
“You’ll have the wolves after you!” call the village gossips.
“That’s what my knife is for,” Little Red laughs, on her way to the woods again. “For soft bellies and teaching manners.”

“But why did he leave the Capital? He could've been crowned king.”
Xenos stared up at the statue, smiling bitterly. “He saved the world, and lost everything dear to him. I think he was owed a little #peace, far away from the country that sent his friends to die.”

“Stay away from the lake,” Evans warned, “the water is #enchanted.”
When Mina voiced her doubt, he showed her the bones.
“Even animals know better than to drink here. You’ll fall asleep and never wake up. They say it was cursed long ago, by a jealous witch.”

Minerva woke to the sound of rain, and her #joy blossomed—what better way to spend a damp fall day than inside with a good book?
Alas, on her way to make coffee—a knock at the door, heavy with destiny. An adventurer was out there, seeking a mage to join his party.

Ella paused at the window, watching a young girl #frolic through the wheat, red ribbon in her hair, red poppies in her hand.
“Is that my cousin, out in the field?” she asked her aunt, who looked at her strangely.
“There are no children living around here.”

The stories told of creatures who could feel their home calling to them in their bones. A longing so strong it would kill them. But what if the home you sought was so far beyond reach? Would your bones still betray you if your home was with death?

By the by, she mourned him,
Her soul longing to feel his hand in hers.
She laid a single flower upon his grave,
Said a prayer she hoped he heard,
And was gone.

One shot for remembrance
One shot to forget
One shot for goodbye
One shot the tears
One shot to silence your brain
Tradition only required one shot. The rest are to ignore the pain

Guttering flames somehow reaching,
All for those we lost,

I was still fresh-faced youth
unable to contemplate the chasm

of eternity without you.

The photos of loved ones lost
Surround me,
A remembrance
Of abundance in my life
Before all became darkness.
In memoriam, my past dead
And I trudge past the living,
A shackle on swollen feet.
