Friends pick us up when we fall down. And if they can't pick us up, they lie down and listen for a while.


Sunsinger (noun) // 1. A term used to describe a person standing in the rain and singing, waiting for the sun to come out.

"They all came to see the Sunsinger, who was standing in the pouring rain.
They had never seen a Sunsinger before, because there are only very few of them. The Sunsinger started singing, while he was dancing a complex dance.
The Sunsinger’s singing got louder with every minute and after a while,
it stopped raining.
His colorful clothes were all wet, but he was happy, because the sun started to appear behind the clouds.
The Sunsinger was also relieved, because the act of sunsinging wasn’t that easy. If he had done a wrong move, the sun would never have come out again.

sunsing (adj.) // 2. A term used to describe a person who is always positive.

If it’s raining and everyone would say
“It’s never going to stop raining, the sun won’t come out”,
a sunsing person would say
“The sun is just waiting for the rain and the clouds to clean the sky,
so it can shine as bright as always”.
Sunsing people always have a smile on their faces, no matter what’s happening.

sunsing (verb) // 3. “To sunsing something” is a synonym for “to sugarcoat something”.

A lot of people sunsing things, because they want to say something
without having to hurt people's feelings.
"My teachers sunsing everything; instead of saying
"Your essay is of of the worst I've seen in my life!", they say
"Pretty good, but I would rewrite your essay and make a few changes."

Sunsing (noun) // 4. A “sunsing” is the synonym for a “positive mantra”.

It is often used in yoga, but it can also be found in sports, especially horseback riding.
Every international horseback rider has a Sunsing,
because it helps you keep focused and stay positive.
Often used Sunsings are
"Let your faith be bigger than your fear" and
"Don't quit. You're already in pain. You're already hurt. Get a reward from it."
Sunsings have to be kept a secret, 'cause if you tell anyone your Sunsing,
it's going to turn against you.

sunsinging (verb) // 5. If someone is sunsinging, he is in some kind of trance, not paying attention to anything that’s happening around him. Sunsinging is a synonym for daydreaming.

Her grandma always used to say:
“Stop sunsinging, child. If you do that, people around you are going to feel left out.
If you stop sunsinging, you'll have more to dream about at night."


The author's comments:
The word "Sunsing" is a “Kenning” (an Anglo-Saxon poetic device where two words are placed together to form a new meaning). I love the sun and I love to sing, so I put this two words together and that's what I got.

This poem actually inspired me to a new short story and I hope people will maybe use the word "Sunsing" after reading my poem.
