The toy soldier



Lost in the forest

as a strange elf

camouflaged by the leaves

and the green

he doesn't seem a killer

he seems a flower

a human tree

a jolly muchroom

the toy soldier

not even holding the rifle

rests quiet

in Lotus meditation

maybe he is wondering

who he is

what he is doing

where he is going

Leaves

will give him their peace

to reflect

that's all they can do

without voice

and without truth
