Belonging to the stars
His name presumes
But he does not stare
At the night sky overhead
For he is locked up
Underground lost in a maze
And as he looks above
Instead of the dirt and stone
He can only imagine
A perfect summer evening
Out in a field
When the moon is high
And the wind sways the grass
And in this fantasy
He sees twice as many stars as usual
In another life perhaps
