The Return

It was morning when it found her 

 Defeated

Stone cold

Lonely with little hope

And no light to show

But quietly and patiently

Silently and lovingly

Triumphantly and eagerly

Spring gently woke her

She was greeted with gold

New warmth held her close

and whispered to her 

You lived!

You survived!

Her time had finally come to arise

 To step forward

For the white snow had melted

The bitterness surrendered

The numbness was killed

Her doom and darkness were gone

The winter was over

Her trees blossomed to life

Their leaves kissing the branches

Her flowers bloomed in bright colors

Their petals sweet smelling 

Their faces stretching up to the sky  

Her woodland creatures waited

For their story to unfold

 It had been told before

That the sun girl would come home

So she arose in all glory

and walked slowly into the light

Its brightness was blissful

Its promise a fulfilling sight

Her heart began its pulse

Her lips turned to a curl

She threw her arms up into the air

 In a canter she began her flight 

She had known before

That she would be reborn

and the universe was happy

Because the Sun Girl returned
