Protected Soul

A boy lost in a darkening world,
Shrouded by his own life history,
Travels to nowhere inside his broken compass.
Wide, baby-like eyes search,
Trying to penetrate the darkness,
Hungary to find a soul who will believe.
An injured heart is strong-willed,
And never left unprotected,
Words sharpened to cut down those who try.
A man shows up on his path,
A kind soul who believes,
But, for the boy, it is now too dark to even see.

  1. Hey Daniel. Loved this piece! Is it too much to ask the personal detail around it? Who is the man? What caused the boy to put up the walls? Will he ever lower them? Does he want to lower them? You can email me if you prefer to answer in private. shalle77@gmail.com. Or you don't have to answer. Great piece!
