Starlight, Starbright, First Star I See Tonight, Wish I May, Wish I Might, Have the Wish I Wish Tonight

The stars shine so bright tonight in the clear black sky. The night is fresh, the chill sets in, and the stars twinkle from millions of miles away. We'll never be able to reach them, at least in this lifetime. Their secrets will be kept for eternity, winking at us from just beyond our reach, just beyond our comprehension. One can lay awake all night staring at the stars and be no closer to understanding the vastness of the galaxy, the enormity and complexity of the universe. Star gazing on a blanket, with the evening dew seeping through. Pointing out the hidden constellations and waiting for a shooting star. It's romantic, it relaxing, it's inspirational. The night sky is something we will never be able to duplicate. The moon stands out beyond all other night orbs. The closest heavenly body, and yet still so utterly unreachable while we stand firmly on earth. The stars tell us time, and season. Some say they predict the future, or maybe they just tell stories. They help us dream, they give us goals. Even if those goals are ultimately unreachable. It's something to hope for, something to strive for, something that is better. To define a star as a burning ball of gas is to lose so much of the meaning. It takes away the awe and wonder. To define a human being as a skeleton with flesh and blood is to take away the life. The stars are indescribable, almost infinite, endless, constant and reliable. The stars shine bright in the clear black sky. The night is young, a star falls. How many wish on it tonight?
