Starry Night Steven Eddington On top of a mountain gazing into the vast midnight sky I remember back to when I was young my mother always encouraged me to “reach for the stars” here I am now, on the edge of a cliff frightened from the immense height consumed by the darkness of the night captured by the intensity of the stars each one glimmering like a diamond in the sky I can only go as high as I hike staring at the still stars I think how far will I have to go before I reach them? 82
