Peace

Fate hurls a sway
Through night and day
To fling a play


Play forms in kind
A state of mind
In sanguine finds


Finds that we make
Can fashion stake
In norms we take


Take funds a cause
In poise and course
That bear a bourse


Bourse in due time
Can set the chimes
To pact and mime


Mime in sure steps
Can forge a map
Or set a trap


Trap can contain
Our hollow strains
In empty gains


Gains can be lost
In fate we toss
To rid the moss
