Feel the sun on your skin
How it burns through your flesh
And sits in your breath
Feel the moon in your mind
How it cools through your eyes
When tears fail to shed
And sink in your throat
Feel the warmth of the day
And of days yet to come
Think of days better lived
Of days that have gone
O, sorrow, here you come
See the depth found in waves
That have swept through your thoughts
Flown through your scars
And poured out your heart
Like the wind in the sky
How I’ve loved our little dance
O, sorrow, have you gone
