to be calm
feel the waves of emotion
rippling thru steel cores
of which we’re made
to hold on
when volatile craziness
flames out & up
& warps our rigidity
& we are melting
pyrotechnic flow down
demolishing all
& standing again at the end
when silence spreads
this is peace
peace is the way
stillness
paradoxical in its power
in its utility
& only then can be seen
redemption of killer
befriended by victim’s family, or
the rapproachement between warriors
knowing full well the price paid
the futility of fatalities teaches
lessons of peace the hardest way
