Out of the Darkness

Deep inside the box
Sits a lonely boy
All alone
No one seems to care
How why or where

Suddenly a bright beam of light
Burning through the walls 
Shining very bright

A gentile hand reaches out
A familiar voice
“Take my hand”
“I am your friend”

They walk together
Away from the darkness
Hand and hand
Friends forever

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
