Darkness, July 2008 poem

The young woman is in chains,
Lost in the darkness, surrounded by demons.
Demons that slowly consume their still living victim.
In her fear and agony,
She has been calling upon the name of the Lord,
Praying for salvation.
She's beginning to lose faith.
She thinks that God has forsaken her,
Starts to doubt the very existence of God.
Then she sees him,
The man with the lantern.
He is walking towards the her.
The demons fear the light.
Soon all but the most powerful have fled.
He hasn't seen her, so she calls out to him,
Asking him for his help.
He hesitates, uncertain.
Will he take her hand and lead her back into the light?
Or will he just keep walking?
