A renaissance painting with skeletons
and death juxtaposed along ars vivat
somewhere from the vitality of a mind
to the modern humble viewer of sorts
can be a meeting of strange ideas
crenellated buddying Venetian buildings
sfumati gardens of yesteryear's lords
: honor the dead creators and their patrons
without whom truly none of this art
would have survived or even been
an all-embracing court of long gone
masters of design in vital vita brevi
turned ars longa - realized on a morn
the sky was dark the illumination bright
.
