LOST SOULS
Sometimes people just vanish
Never to be seen again
As if they’re abducted by aliens
Taken in the middle of the night
The girl you courted in high school
Disappearing without a clue
The beggar on the sidewalk each morning
Becoming just an empty space
The man with the guitar on the corner
Whose music is nowhere to be heard
The woman who’d wave as she passed you
Gone before you learned her name
But the worst is when you encounter
A friend that you thought was dead
With the same face you remember
But eyes that are light years away
This hits home.
