I asked

why I always try to reach the unreachable

He answered me

and the answer is always

Peace

And peace is enough

Peace is better than a show of power – it’s wisdom

Peace is fresher than a morning shower – it’s securing

More enduring than affirmation or denial

It’s the simple meal before the deathly trial

Peace precludes the bitter herbs of regret

the officious shadows of debt

Peace is not the river, it’s the river still

Peace is not the night

it’s the closing cloak of dark quiet

not the trailing off of sound

but the weighty crown and company

of silence.
