Emptying My Head

The Stars

Tonight, we saw a play, "The Immigrant." One song, repeated throughout, had a chorus that said "the stars are brighter so we won't forget." I think that has a great deal of symbolism, but am writing it down now so that it will not roll loudly through my head all night. The stars tonight are particularly numerous and very bright. Perhaps the sky is preparing for the full eclipse that is coming on Wednesday evening. I am wishing for a bright, clear sky that night so we may observe it. Now, back to the stars, I am wondering what is it that I should not forget?
