Lonely Up There
Do you think the sun gets lonely up there?
Atop his thrown above the clouds
Looking down on the people where
His shadow cannot be found?
Bringer of light and warmth and day
He moves across the skies alone
Sharing himself along the way
Searching for a place called home.
Do you think the moon gets jealous at night?
Surrounded by the countless stars
Who do not beg nor borrow light
From a foreign source so far?
Heralding shrouds of cold and dark
She wanders through the empty space
Luminated face, pale and stark,
Spending time in waning grace.
Do you think the stars might envy their dance?
Settled as close as they could dare
With front row views of their waltz entranced
Jealous of that something shared.
Witness of celestial embrace
When light moves to hold dark in love
Sending warmth to shine on her face
His home in the sky above.
Do you think the sun gets lonely up there?
Lover shining with borrowed light
Stars settled in the heavens where
They observe his listless plight.
I think the sun might be lonely up there...
