times drifting by the river
running dirty in the winter
hiding out from a January rain
backed up to the window again
two drifters by the water
lonely son and no one’s daughter
a couple of days to set them at ease
a couple of friends who just do as they please
could have worn the whole redwood deck out
waiting there for the time to checkout
two drifters by the water
lonely son and no one’s daughter
time’s driftin', driftin'

I love the bluesy feel of this poem. The rhythm is beautiful. I drift away with it on a big front porch. I can hear the music. Beautiful work.
Thank you so much for your kind comment at my site, Jack. It has been a difficult time, but knowing that there are many good people in the world makes it much easier. I look forward to reading all of your work in the coming year. Happy New Year:)
This is a sweet song and I love that line 'lonely son and no one's daughter'
I'm really driftin' down the water with this one!
