He loved to walk
along mountain streams;
upstream.
And stop often
to sit on a boulder
and listen to the water rush.
And to watch
the bold current splash
against pure light.
To look upstream
at the future
coming at him.
Or look downstream
at the past
beyond change.
Sometimes he would gather
flat, rounded rocks
to build a cairn.
His mind concentrated
on structural design,
balance and stability.
It all brought real comfort
and genuine contentment
to his mountain soul.
This is where he belonged.
