Empty urn. Pulled from a shelf.
Designed by hand with care.
Brought down into the morgue,
No more an idle vessel.
Protecting a soul,
Preserving what should not
Be seen. Loved one close by.
No more a vacant capsule.
An item of remembrance.
Connection still strong,
Taken home and placed
In a spot to be viewed.
Housing a ghost,
In a place of memories.
