The stars look wonderful tonight.
I was looking up at them.
Each one so distant,
I think to myself that the light must have travelled so far
just to be percieved by me
at that moment.
Literally unreachable, and yet there they are.
They hang in the sky, never fading.
They are the ultimate metaphor.

They are unreachable,
yet beautiful.
They represent success,
but failure in mankind.
They lead the way to the future,
but they are so distant.
