Dark Forest

Lost within a forest so dark. The trees are so numerous here. Each tree casts its shadow adding to the darkness of the next, together they drown out the light. Their existence causes maneuvering around each one while trying to keep a constant direction. Each time questioning did I go the right way. Looking for signs of help seems futile. Looking for other’s paths but will they even lead out or just bring me deeper in. Hoping for signs I’m on the right way. Praying for someone to take my hand and lead me out or am I alone in here? I call out and I hear a voice. Just keep going. Left foot right foot left foot again. Running into limbs and getting knocked back but keep moving forward the best I can. How did I even get here? Why am I here? Questions that won’t lead me out. I hear it again, just keep going. Start seeing glimpses of light so there’s hope. There’s a way out of the darkness if there’s light. Can’t search through the forest to find the way out, must search through within. Find guidance from the One who knows true direction. He can guide out of even the darkest place.
