Like the wind breathes upon the leaves <br />Behind are left sweet memories <br />You live in my heart, soul and mind <br />In the world you own, now left behind <br />O Drifter, drifter why did you go? <br />Adrift in the wind only time could know <br /> <br />You, unsettled by the roads you own <br />So far away you have freely flown <br />You touch upon the waves at sea <br />You wander the storms of Eternity <br />Drifter, drifter have you found your soul? <br />Unanchored, your vision sets distant goals <br /> <br />Untamed spirit of sapphire sky <br />Grave are my tears for you I cry <br />This wide world you call your home <br />Born in your heart the need to roam <br />Free, unchained no earthly bonds need <br />Drifting, drifting..you're gone take heed <br /> <br />While I keep yearning wistfully <br />It's on this sad day I set you free <br />To catch the winds of wilder climes <br />To seek your soul 'till the end of time <br />Drifter, drifter through life you've gone by <br />Forever in my heart you will never die.<br /><br />Lorraine Margueritte Gasrel Black<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/song-to-a-drifter/
