'Drift' I wish I was a spirit. I would be able to drift: from place to place, person to person, event to event. I'd be able to visit anywhere and everywhere, past, present, and future too. Memorable and forgettable alike. I'd be able to witness the creation and destruction that humanity has inflicted and gifted its earthly palette. I would be able to see all the beautiful people, and their beautiful smiles. Every single one of them. Everyone would be beautiful; for I would not have an eye through which to behold them. I would be able to absorb moments without corrupting them with my presence. I'd be able to condense everything and nothing into a droplet. I could drink forever.

Drift (Version 2)
'Drift' I wish I was a spirit. I would be able to drift: from place to place, person to person, event to event. I'd be able to visit anywhere and everywhere, past, present, and future too. Memorable and forgettable alike. I'd be able to witness the creation and destruction that humanity has inflicted and gifted its earthly palette. I would be able to see all the beautiful people, and their beautiful smiles. Every single one of them. Everyone would be beautiful; for I would not have an eye through which to behold them. I would be able to absorb moments without corrupting them with my presence. I'd be able to condense everything and nothing into a droplet. I could drink forever.
