What Does Peace Look Like

What does peace look like
Is it trouble whisked away
By decree, resolution or motives
Wilting between friends and foes
Is it displacement, you or they
Setting or conclusion
Manufactured into escape
From heat or fret
Is it paradise found or lost
Kodachrome or monotone
Thrown into our laps
To suckle gently
Or is it the simple of simple
Like the silence, then rain
Played upon the sky emblazoned.

Thanks Arturo. I agree, but some folks like or prefer chaos, they can have it. Happy holidays. Best, Subby
