Thank you, Anni. Maybe I'm a masochist because I do like making things difficult for myself. I considered rhyming each line as well, but that was a bridge too far. Perhaps next time...
Out there in the lonely places,
in the deserts when the sun retires
and the daytime heat seeps into the sands,
on the mountains where the freezing air
is sharp and brittle in the night,
out there where the stillness reigns
and darkness cloaks the world,
the stars are strewn beyond our dreams of number.
