A boy sits under an oak tree with an empty heart.

Far away, forest green wolves howl
Small foxes crawl under fallen logs

The boy cries, lost in thought, strange new feelings

He walks on a frayed tightrope.

Far away, a blue eyed girl walks
hand in hand with her mother,
they laugh, they pass a store,
they look inside the windows.

The boy feels his back on the tree.
The crying stops.
He hears soft haunting music.
He hears a distant animal.

He leaves.
