Unable to See the Sun
She stared out the window wondering if the sun would indeed rise today. There were sayings about how the sun always rose in the morning; people said that to inspire hope. Heather stood there waiting to see if they were correct. Because some days the clouds were so thick and the rain so heavy it seemed as though the sun had been washed out of the sky. Today was one of those days. Heather was having trouble seeing through the window, so she knocked the soap out of the way, and climbed out of it to go find the sun.
Failing at Haiku 
Ah.. I think if more of us would dare to go out and seek that sun.. The weight of the horizon can be unbearable some dawns.

Ooh, that was nice…
In the midst of depression or despair, when the metaphors aren’t even there to bring comfort, we can still knock soap out if the way and climb through windows.
Wonderful writing.
