“Do you think the Sun gets lonely up there?”

A question

A strange, **P E C U I L A R **

Question

**P E R H A P S**, we’ll say,

The Sun does get lonely

Up there in that dark void

But it has its brothers and sisters

It has** F A M I L Y**

But let’s **P R E T E N D**

That the Sun’s siblings

Are horrible

That they ignore and shun it

**P E R H A P S**, we’ll say

That the Sun does get lonely

Now, that we know how it’s treated

But it has the planets

It has **F R I E N D S**

But let’s** P R E T E N D**

That these are disloyal friends

Who talk about it

Behind its back

**P E R H A P S**, we’ll say, once more

That the Sun does get lonely

Now that we know it has no friends

No one really to care

But it has the F R O S T

But let’s** P R E T E—**

**NO WE WILL NOT**

The **C O L D**, _frosty_ void of the universe

Is **P E A C E**! It is **L I F E**!

It is that one place, that _frosty_, icy

**C O L D**

Where the Sun is truly **F R E E**

**FREEDOM IS A WORD WASTED**

**SO YES! THE SUN IS ALONE, BUT NOT**

**EVER, ****_EVER_**** LONELY**

so go away. leave it be. please…leave it be.
