Peace

For what is peace?

Is it the moment you pay off your lease?

Or is it the comfort in the embrace

of a loved one, after working hard for days?

Is it the hearty meal you enjoy,

or the first sip of water that you have to calm your inner turmoil?

Is peace even found in mere moments,

or is it only achieved through our quests for atonement?

Does peace represent a milestone to be achieved,

or is it another add-on to the list of 'wrongly perceived'?

Can peace be found while looking for peace?

Is it a whole from which one can only get a single piece?

Does it lie in the sense of understanding oneself,

or in going ahead to become one with Himself?

Does it come to you easily,

or do you have to fight for it greedily?

Is it something you carry around in your pocket,

or are you unsure of whether you've found it yet to fit your socket?
