The Quiet Strength of Peace
In quiet strength, the heart finds grace, A gentle breath, a slower pace. Though tempests roar and shadows creep, Peace is the promise we can keep. A blow may fall, a word may sting, Yet peace is still a chosen thing. To strike again is easy done, But truest power strikes at none. A single word, a fleeting glance, Can shatter or restore the dance. But wisdom whispers, soft, discreet: “Choose the love that won’t retreat.” Let anger’s fire be kept in check, And kindness guide each step, each trek. For in restraint, true power lies— A calm that lifts, a hope that flies. The world may test, provoke, incite, But still, the dawn will chase the night. And in our hearts, a steady song— Peace endures when all feels wrong.
