"His Garden of Peace" by Terry Mulert

There goes a man

walking like a branch

blown free from the forest

getting lost until the breeze

eats the sound of his feet

 

he carries many good memories

and disappointments

into the future

where all will be divided

among those who sleep in the day

 

faces and voices of loved ones

float by and rest

in the perfect stillness

of rocks and sand

and the falling leaves

 

he walks until his heart turns to gold

and there he buries it with seeds

under the spring rains

and soft green buds

quietly stroking the air.
