Aimlessly Drifting

Gently flowing like a breeze
Trickling water so carefree

Not raging as a river flows 
Just peacefully along it goes

Aimlessly drifting this tiny brook
Flowing softly through every nook

Not having a specific destination
Just longing for some appreciation

Passing through a forest of trees
Wildflowers and fallen leaves

Until at last it eventually meets
A mighty flowing stream or a creek

I like how you make the little brook have a longing to be more and to have a bigger purpose. It doesn't want to stop at just being aimless. Congratulations on placing with this piece! I think you can definitely relate this to life itself.
