“They are lost, but also not lost but somewhere in the world.” - The sun is replaced by darkness, it seems the earth devours it. But when the sun sets somewhere, it rises someplace else! It is never completely lost.
“Of the small things, one is a certain ring, one a certain button.” - The sun is the symbol of magnanimity just like a ring on a bride’s hand a symbol of love and commitment. The way a button holds the two sides of shirts together, the sun holds the solar system in place.
“They are lost from me and where I am, but they are also not gone. They are somewhere else, and they are there to someone else, it may be.” - In the city we build buildings and our trees our lost. We are under the impression that we have trees in forests. But where are the forests? Gone!
