I am in a box
constructed by chance and circumstance
and my own hands.
Enfolded in darkness
deprived of feeling,
only the beating of my heart breaks the silence.
A whisper of warmth...
a stray tendril of sound reaches me
from a source familiar yet strange.
It is a smile from a friend
and I am filled with the sound of light.
I am not alone.
