Terror comes on fast. In the systolic space of a heartbeat, one moment soft and unsuspecting, then instantaneously animated by callous adrenaline. Limbs frenzied, attention alerted, chest tight. Shrouded with darkness of night and buttressed by confusion.
Peace is entirely different. It's found in the monotonous tread of tires on pavement. The regular pattern of hushed breath in the next bed. Lingering in the loud music pounding your ears, filling your soul. Sealed in by the shoves and jostles and ungraceful care of a brother.
Peace, it comes on slow, penetrating gently over time, drawing good air in down deep.
