Sad, this pallid face
as an empty vessel
hollow echoes rebounding
from memories of a once
vibrant alive young man
Touched by an angel and
guided far beyond vision
Laughter silent now, silent
as the grave of despair as
his face pales into memory
locked away for a calmer day
to reflect

Although you have captured the sadness of the death of him, there is also the confirmation that this is only his shell and he is no longer abiding in that body but has gone on to a more glorious life. Well written and very touching~vj

Beautifully put. You know, it is so easy for us to be come trite when we're writing on this subject, but you kept the perspective fresh - although the sadness remains in place. Your mood is longing and sad as it should be, and your piece is all together beautiful.
