It seems appropriate that today,
the sun stay hidden.
Because when the sun is out,
it's impossible to feel complete sadness,
it's hard to feel invisible and alone.
For the sun brings with it,
the trees, and the leaves, and the birds, and the breeze.
The sun has a way of warming your bones,
kissing you gently and smiling softly.
Today, it is appropriate that the sun not come out
because if it were around,
I could not stand to be so sad and lost and alone.
But somehow the sun knew to stay away
because this feeling is too great a weight
to be able to burn away like a cloud.
It is appropriate that the sun remain hidden today
because only the grey sky could possibly match this feeling.
