The Drifter
Poem about the search for place and meaning. Disappointment and aimlessness.

THE DRIFTER

As the butterfly
who lights on the flower
then flutters to the next
floating on the breeze
drifting....drifting,
I spread my wings
prepared to fly.
Like an eagle --
to soar and climb
ever higher,
to aim and zoom in.
But my wings only flutter
in muted colors.
I do not rise and soar
I do not aim and seize.
I float aimlessly
from flower to flower
never finding
a nectar that pleases.
