The little girl hopped onto my lap like an exited little bunny. “Do you think the sun ever gets lonely up there?” She asked in her small voice.
“I don’t know. Maybe.” I responded.
She tilted her small head of fluffy brown. “Why don’t you know?”
I laughed. “Somethings we just aren’t supposed to know.”
“But why?” She pestered. The sun made her skin look even softer, like a chick’s feathers.
“We...
“Do you think the sun gets lonely up there?” Sylvia asks.
“To be honest? I don’t know.” I respond, shaking my head.
“What?!” Jaxx looks up from his book, “You can’t be serious.”
“Why are you so aggressive, Jaxx? It was a harmless question.” I roll my eyes.
“Yeah, and you answered like it was a serious one. It’s stupid; the sun’s just a huge ball of gas.”
Jaxx shoves his nose back into ...
In the vast expanse of the sky, the Sun shone bright,
But something was missing in its daily life.
For the Moon was nowhere to be found,
Leaving the Sun feeling lonely, no sound.
"Why did you leave?" the Sun cried out in dismay,
As it searched the heavens, day after day.
But the Moon stayed hidden, beyond its reach,
Leaving the Sun longing on its endless beach.
In the silence of space, the Sun...
Staring down
I want to touch you
Little tickles
Larger burns
Round and round
but I'm not spinning
Drag you round
to me you turn
sorry you must
see my flare ups
sorry that I make you melt
Do you think the sun gets lonely
Don't you think its common sense
Once A day I get to face you
Luna's too far to be friends
orange and bitter
too up close
rays of sun
you handle most
i don't feel you reaching up
I...
Heavy weight of winter
Keep spring from me
Drag me by my ankles
Through would-be fields of flowers
Still deliberately icy
Still sleeping, nestled into time
And bury me safely beneath frozen roots
Let frost creep over me
Keep me in its bondage
Lest I glimpse blue skies and ask myself
Do you think the sun gets lonely up there?
The question burns too much to bear
Let clouds keep me from the plight...
“Do you think the sun gets lonely up there?”
Of course.
Of course the sun gets lonely.
We all do.
And the moon gets lonely,
And the stars get lonely.
Everyone gets lonely.
It’s normal.
Although it’s not so normal when your loneliness suffocates you,
Crushes you,
Pins you down to the point you can’t move,
Where you writhe underneath the weight of it,
Where your lungs scream for a breath of friends...
"I don't think so."
"Do you miss him?"
She softly asks, staring at the darkening golden sky above her. The faint sound of rustling grass is what catches her attention. A pair of grey eyes meet hers, and suddenly she forgets why they're in the green fields. He smiles, closes his eyes, and sighs as he tries to remember each memory he's ever lived.
"I do, I think. And I'm guessing he doesn't quit...
Do you think the sun gets lonely up there?
…no.
Why not?
It has the moon, the planets, the skies. It has everything anyone could ever want.
But it looks so sad.
What do you mean? It shines all day long.
Don’t you think it would get pretty boring up there?
It looks down on us, how could all of humankind be boring? It can see the daughter who works all day and rises because of it. It can see ...
