To Own a Corner of That Sky

Each evening I sit alone in deep thought, and stare in wonderment at constellations without a name; how many suns, like ours, are invisible to these stupefied eyes... how far are they from where I am? To own a corner of that sky, I should be much closer to them to shine; and I must find me a place in this Universe, become a star so insignificant and unashamed... beginning to exist among their magnificence! To go further, where astronauts are guided by stars, I must have the indomitable spirit of Columbus and the bold courage of David! Each morning the resplendent sunrise awakens me to end my imagined journey... with consternation and demise; my pursuit was to inevitably conquer my fear and not relinquish any possibility... to penetrate the depths of space with nothing more than grace... for a design that I was eager to declare! To own a corner of that sky, I must have an insuperable and indisputable faith... with a determined purpose in mind: so that doubts wouldn't abound and end my quest!
