(I thought for sure the one entering my cell was there to condemn me all the more because of what I was, because of what I had done...) A hand rested on my shoulder, only it wasn't cold or rough. It was warm and gentle. Then I heard a young voice gently whisper my name. I immediately looked up, and saw a beautiful boy standing next to me. The golden light making his skin and blonde hair glow like that of an angel. I looked into his perfect blue eyes which were beginning to tear a little. He looked directly into my eyes, into my soul and he said, "I forgive you for what you did." The boy wrapped his arms around me, put his head on my shoulder, "and I love you very much." I put my arms around this boy and I cried like a baby, and again he softly said, "I still love you so very much." He pulled away from me and looked into my eyes, "Let me help you," he said. The boy holding keys in his hand, reached down and unlocked the cold black chains, and they fell from my hands and feet. I stood before the door, scared, as the golden light shined through the narrow stone opening. Too afraid to move, I felt the young boy's hand take mine and he said, "Come on, we will do this together, you and me." And with that, the boy led me out of the dark cell. The warmth of the light struck my face, and I could actually feel love, peace, even happiness trying to enter my life again. |
