I once told a story

Of a man who hated light.

He lived in darkness

Most of his days and nights.

I once told a story

Of a little girl,

Blind in both eyes.

She hid in her room

And gave out sixteen sighs.

Days later,

I told a story.

Of a boy shadowed,

Hidden by curtained windows.

He was not of blindness,

Not of hate,

But he could not see the light,

Because it was burning

Bright behind his own eyes.
