It was morning when it found her Defeated Stone cold Lonely with little hope And no light to show But quietly and patiently Silently and lovingly Triumphantly and eagerly Spring gently woke her She was greeted with gold New warmth held her close and whispered to her You lived! You survived! Her time had finally come to arise To step forward For the white snow had melted The bitterness surrendered The numbness was killed Her doom and darkness were gone The winter was over Her trees blossomed to life Their leaves kissing the branches Her flowers bloomed in bright colors Their petals sweet smelling Their faces stretching up to the sky Her woodland creatures waited For their story to unfold It had been told before That the sun girl would come home So she arose in all glory and walked slowly into the light Its brightness was blissful Its promise a fulfilling sight Her heart began its pulse Her lips turned to a curl She threw her arms up into the air In a canter she began her flight She had known before That she would be reborn and the universe was happy Because the Sun Girl returned

The Return
She burns and drinks it in She soaks up the sun with her skin It kisses her hair Changes her colors Keeps her warm Engulfed in a blanket of comfort She closes her eyes She is a goddess A sunrise Misunderstood Soft Spoken A wild girl on the run She flees through the forest With the heart of a lioness She has a temptation for danger An ache to fly away Taste for a poisonous thrill   The speed quickens everyday Soon she'll lift up to the sky She'll soar high with eager hungry eyes Her heartbeat canters She's certain of what she wants But she must put on armor A goddess must always guard her heart Her heart is what carries her soul And her soul carries his wings She is the daughter of Icarus Lover of Apollo She'll take flight to the sun When the cold comes she'll die What is done must be done No one dares to watch her fly For she might find Elysium Yet a goddess knows her place in the sky She'll never be a victim of her father's lie.
