Drifters are kind of non-essential.
Don't really have a purpose,
no destination.
But when you see a bunch of them
together
Heading in the same direction--
you have to pause and wonder . . .
Maybe they do have a purpose.
Maybe they do have a destination.
Let's watch these yellow, orange and red
leaves
Drop from the trees
And drift down to the ground.
They do have a purpose--
They announce the rebirth of Fall!
