John Walker Poet I do not know?

The Drifters

Weave our web of freedom lust 
dodge just purpose create mistrust
for we are the drifters no need to fear us

A walk along freedoms edge for weekend 
or holiday brings you to our domain
but no need to fear us for we are just
a state of mind that you regret to leave behind

Our feelings are natural not neon 
they come from our hearts not television
house and garden maybe fine for some
but we fine it hard to conceive
forgive us as we choose our own dream

For we are the drifters and our world is real
no plastic margins of silver and gold or look a like wood 
to surround wall framed images of yesterday tomorrow
or if only we could

Painted or prints all the same after you've payed
scenes in valleys a sunsets golden glow 
trees and rivers captured no breeze no flow
collect them all if they could trying hard to cover
bricks wallpaper or painted wood
god knows the views from windows isn't any good

For we are the drifters you don't fear us
we live outside the frame of your mind 
and water a dream many have watched die
born to run no made this way believing in ourselfs
rain pain or anything without a frame

So we are the drifters next time we go by 
give us a wave and say hi
don't just stand there 
with mouth gaping wide.
