Reaching for the Sun

December 14, 2022

I long for the sun

Its beauty and luminous light 

It guides me even when the sun bleeds into night 

It shows me that there is nothing to be afraid of

That the world is merely a glove

All at your fingertips

I long for the sun


Yet


I can’t seem to reach the sun

No matter how hard I try 

No matter how far I walk 

I can’t seem to touch it

All I can do is pray and hope

That one day 

I will be able to cope

With the thought of not being able to reach the sun

It is a piece about hope and the sun is a symbol of life and how people struggle to keep going but there is always light at the end of the tunnel.
