This Time
March 20, 2013 § 4 Comments
Peace did not exist
in solitude and the quiet
places of the world.
It was not obtained in fortitude
nor manifested in extremism.
Comfort did not emerge from
the power statements of I.
No, Peace did not arise
but in the love of families.
It drew near while existing in
the center of, if only for a moment
or two, a life-filled family.
Quiet emanated in the loneliness of
evening dinners and chatter of the
day’s events. Calm emerged from
tears of hurt and tears of
joy. Gentleness emanated from
noisy living rooms, where family
laughed together.
No, Refuge was not sought
in reclusion and self-contemplation.
This time, content was recognized in the
kind of chaos of family life and love. Peace
was regained with you.
