Peace?

Peace is a gentle breeze,
Whispering through the trees.
It’s a warm embrace,
A loving, healing space.

What’s the point of peace and serenity,
Of beauty and reflection?
When all that we have is a moment’s reprieve,
From the chaos and destruction.

The river flows on,
Uncaring of our plight.
The trees sway in the breeze,
Unmoved by our cries.

The fog rolls in,
Obscuring our sight.
And the reflection in the water,
Is a distorted image of our reality.

So why do we strive for peace and serenity?
When all that we have is a moment’s reprieve,
From the chaos and destruction.

Let us embrace the chaos,
Let us face the darkness.
For in the darkness,
We find our resilience.

And in the chaos,
We find our strength.

For peace and serenity,
Beauty and reflection,
Are fleeting illusions.

But the chaos and destruction,
Are our reality.

Let us embrace it,
And find our way through it.
