The Peace Keeper

peace. sought and desired. lost, often found. cards on the table: leaving out millions of dice. rolling and wearing the pattern, believing trouble to be far behind. odd. never knew time would tell a lie. thinking of trouble: laying a path to your name. seeking and trying your patience, putting obstacles up against the wall. tired. depressed and weary. sad, often needy. reading between the lines: leaving out hundreds of words. inspiring and creating a pattern, forging terror in a future land. hope. a desire to redress the balance. needing new skills: putting your hands on the wheel. working and understanding from the heart, finding the old ways and sowing new seed. peace. desired and lost. sought, often found. knowing trouble: dealing with it as and when. seeking change only when it matters, believing happiness to be a state of mind.
