Peace
Is such
A cliché
Everyone
Wants peace
In some form
Or another
Peace
Is to get people
Off your back
Or keep them humming
In close proximity
While you sleep
Peace
Is a hut
Up on a mountain
An apartment
Right by the supermarket
A house
Next to
Ancestral homes
Peace
Is silence
Beeping messages
From loved ones
The right music
At the right time
Peace
Is
The fulfilment
Of wishes
The return
Of the traveller
The end
Of trying
Peace
Is
When
Every moment
Is
A gift
And I
Cease
To resent
And resist
Peace
Is
One
Breath
Unobstructed
By the anticipation
Of the
Next
Peace
Untangles
Resolves
And when
Nothing
Else
Is left
It
Is
