The Garden

Mel Waldman

    Clutching my sacred manuscripts, I stroll through the garden, gazing at my pretty flowers, my vibrant red and white roses blooming in the glorious sun and my old and dying daisies and sunflowers, shriveled up and vanishing into the earth.
    Letting go, saying goodbye. Why?
    I saunter around my garden and scatter my papers, more than six decades of creation, throughout the garden. And when all my papers are gone, I speak to the flowers and trees and all other beings and nonbeings hidden in the garden.
    Letting go, saying goodbye. Why?
    I whisper my words to all, and at the proper moment, I shriek holy truths accumulated over one man’s lifetime. And after speaking all my words of creation, I close my eyes and vanish.
    I vanish from the Garden of Life and Death. Like my pretty flowers, I vanish into the earth.
