When peace is too harsh
a word; its edges too sharp
for comfort, what euphemism
would be safer, more acceptable?
Shall we choose to be saved or
maybe simply to be blessed,
some might prefer law and order
with clear guidelines and
consequences.
Maybe it’s tranquility,
or isolation
or retreat;
or accommodation.
Do we enjoy peace,
make peace
enforce peace or
are we simply at peace?
This peace of Advent
is elusive, this promise
easily misunderstood
and yet we are on a
journey to meet
the Prince of Peace.
