Answer:
I reach for the sky, but clutch to the ground. Sometimes I leave, but I am always around. What am I?
I had a bright start but I couldn't take the pressure. I consume everything yet I don't eat anything.

Without a bridle or a saddle across a thing I ride a-straddle. And those I ride by help of me though almost blind are made to see.
