"Drift"
we are tourists in a strange world
our hearts beat and fade out alone
when we are claimed by the unknown darkness
but till then we share our moments
each of us taking mental pictures of smiles
while allowing tomorrow to whisk away yesterday’s failures
we pursuit the world beyond our grasp
filling our palms with the touch of strangers
and our lips with taste of honey and love
we drift together and apart
ignoring the cold fear of our final day
as we should
for the beauty of butterflies easily outweighs our ignorance
we are tourists in strange world
wanting for forever
not knowing what we ask for
we enjoy the surprise of knowledge
and savor the discovery of love
while always looking toward what is next
we push forward
wanting the stars
and one day we just may actually have them
