Peace is not calm,
nor is it weak,
it is not timid,
when it speaks.
Peace is on fire,
bold and strong,
it will take on hatred,
and subdue wrong.
Peace is a warrior,
on a noble quest,
a valiant force,
at our heart’s behest.

Good one. The simple structure of the poem kind of echoes the whole point of the poem, which is not an easy feat.
Thanks Dave 🙂
This is quite the refreshing take on the concept of peace, and I love it.
Thank you very much!

So love this idea – peace as strength! There is nothing weak about learning to reign in power, or harness anger, or restrain emotion to keep it. Lovely thought for the day…
Thank you – I think so too – such emotions as peace, calm and tranquility are not weak!

No – those are the ones the most sought after, and the hardest won, that’s for sure!
