“Drifting…”

Nothing more than
A grain of sand
Drifting slowly
On the winds called life
Start off without a care
Floating on a gentle breeze
Not caring where you go
As long as you enjoy the ride
Slowly the winds shift
The breeze grows stronger
Pushing and pulling you
You try to break free
But you cannot escape
The dark, merciless tempest
Tossed and turned
Even blown backwards
A prisoner of this storm
You try to break free
Eventually, the winds subside
And you find yourself floating
Broking free from that storm
Looking for that familiar breeze
But you can't find it anymore
So, you drift amongst the winds
Trying to figure out where to go
Then, you find a new wind
A wind that reminds you
Of that old familiar breeze
You begin following it
Wondering where it will take you
Yet in your heart you know
It won't be like the old days
For you've gone so far
You know you can't go back
The carefree days are gone
They only remain a memory
As you keep move forward
Following the shifting winds
Not caring where they take you
As long as you enjoy the ride
The ride that we call life
