driftin'
siftin'
thru the old days
rememberin' my old ways

rememberin the memories
rememberin' the used ta' be's

slidin'
glidin'
facin' the hidin'
not mindin'
The Todays

yesterday's
and gone aways
nuthin' much else's to say's
just got my dues
to pay's

thinkin' of you's
just won't do's

facin' the true s
and the lies
livin' the blues
and the why's
lettin' go
a' the nice try's

lettin' go
of the cry's
forgettin' the goodbye's
lettin' go of the past tears
lettin' go of the past fears

lettin' go
of the past years

learnin' to know
the no show
that i was
'twas
the one that i ain't
hell i was no saint

lettin' the wind
just blow
which ever the wind
may go

tryin' ta' grow
by just driftin'

tryin' ta' let
the wind blow
tryin' ta' get
where i go
which ever way the wind may blow

driftin'
siftin'
liftin'
listnin'
to tomorrow
over all that sorrow

driftin'
past old yesterday's
siftnin'
thru the today's

just listnin'
to the tomorrow's

tryin' ta' quit the borrow's
from the minutes & the hour's
the sorrow's
that were our's
throw away all the flowers

driftin'

off into a dream
full steam
ahead

just driftnin'
where i'm led

I drift sometimes when I'm reading something boring. Or when I'm
looking at a TV show not of my taste, over a friend's house.
I can identify with this poem. I like it. :0)

lol..now, some people woudld call this fatalistic, but i call it realistic..evoking thoughts of tarot's fool, tripping along to his destruction, when in all actuality, this person is mostly in tune with reality and is prepared for whatever may come...i likes, i likes!
