he lay on the grass

staring at the sky

the sky stared back

with its one eye

the sun opened up

into the boys soul

filling him with light

its pale look, like a ghoul

the suns peace

and tranquility

kissing his sullen face

for he awoke

and he heard a call

a cool of urgence

or remembrence

and sorrow

from the spirit

of the one

who was taken

who was gone

whisked away

in a strong wind 

left him empty

nothing inside

hallow

shell of nothing

but she reached out

reached for him

with a gentle touch

that woke him

remembered him

he remembered  

her
