I met a man lost in a wood so thick not even the sun could provide light I outstretched my hand to hold his own and we walked not by sight We held hands right there in the darkness and found comfort in our tears We used them to quench our thirst and conquer our fears I began to see a break in the trees as he sunk further away And we still hold on never letting go of the promise we made Has he become so lost that even upon wandering he has gone? I still feel the touch of his fingertips as by the grace of God I hold on
I met a man lost in a wood so thick not even the sun could provide light And it was then I remembered we walked not by sight So it is the faith in the night that will promise the lost to be found When everything surrounding your vision has hit below ground I will be deep in the wood with you at your side For disappointment is a sight for sore eyes anyway and I am glad we are blind Squeeze my hand my friend and feel that I have not yet left And here I will walk with you until darkness is death
I wrote this poem for a friend who battles depression and he is having a rather difficult time these days. I haven't heard from him and I hope he is okay. (C) Maxwell 2014
