Tribute to Peace by Mike Garrett

Tribute to Peace

by Mike Garrett

I've been to this place before.

I've felt the coolness of the wind,

heard the leaves as they spoke

to one another.

I've touched the grass felt it grow.

I come here to think, quietly.

I come here to clear the confusion

from deep within my mind,

to talk with Peace.

He's still alive, you know.

I'll return to this place sometime.

I'll touch the tenderness of a butterfly,

and let this chilly stream warm my soul

with its laughter,

I'll smile at the sun as it drifts low.

When I must, I will leave, quietly,

and I'll have contentment within my mind

to last me all the time I'm gone,

for I talked with Peace,

He's still alive, you know.
