Wayward Wanderer

LOST AMONG THE STARS  by Drifterdax

I was Icarus

Before the fall of wings,

Soaring near the sun.

I was Ganymede

Elated with Golden cup.

Soothed by kindly caress.

I was Antinous,

Lying near the gentle Nile.

Seeking Immortality.

I was like them all,

Longing for a better life,

Lost among the stars.
