The Saving of the Empty One

Cold and lonely.
Frozen heart,
Frozen soul.
Silent one,
Emotionless,
Empty and soulless.
Love has never come,
To nourish this empty soul.
Light has never fallen
To brighten the dark depths.
But suddenly
The empty wasteland,
That was his soul,
Resounds and rings
With emotion.
Something has come
Change is near.
The Empty One stirs,
Can he free himself
From the clutches
Of the demons
Of his soul?
Slowly,
The ice thaws,
The walls are gone.
A young soul,
Naïve and playful,
Full of life,
Greets the Empty One.
The Empty one is surprised.
What is this that has aroused him so?
For the first time
In a long time.
The Empty one feels emotion
Again.
Once more,
He will never again,
Be an empty shell
He rises again,
A real man.
Ready to give love
And to receive
It back.
