A truce aug 28, 2024

  

all hostility has ceased

at least on the surface

no surrender just acceptance

 a truce within herself only she needs

to know how to keep

after all the ups and downs

she sails a steady course

over water so smooth as to terrify

 those who have sailed stormy seas with her

why is she so calm, so quiet, so collected

has she come to some resolution

 some measure peace even she never

 dreamed would occur

her seas calm we must admire her from afar

but with peace comes with a price the price

of a lesser ambition

dreams she had and gave up

 a trade off for the possible

rather than the impossible

of fading tomorrows
