Eyes Unflinching
he looked at that ball of fire..
No one
could see it directly.
His heart
tugged when he beheld him,
Never
knowing the reason, why so?
No, he didn’t
even have to blink,
Nor its
heat scorched him.
But when he
gazed at it
Nothing but
a soft glow engulfed him.
It’s warmth
going to his core.
Oh! How could
he explain this tie?
No matter
how hurt he was,
One look at
that titan hue
would bring
a halt to the tumult his heart went through.
The harmony
he felt at that moment, the burst of light that touched him,
Was a
gentle caress, as if returning all his dues.
All
humiliation, all the hurt, the curses melted in that one touch.
But, today
when he is lying, bleeding and sore.
His father
is not able to face him anymore.
Is the sun
setting or hiding behind the clouds?
No today
the caress is not gentle anymore..
Slowly the
lights are going dim, and the hyenas howl also seems faint.
Cold creeps
in through his veins
The
majestic sun looks helpless in vain.
