* Peace *
.
.
Alone at a table
Night falls while she sits
Outside another pauses
hesitating before she commits
Frustration, anger
she's felt those and more
The woman inside one reason
but her own role, she can't ignore
Truth, her goal
found in facts
A desire for justice
worth a pact
A bit of history confided
A concession, in turn
Stepping back
from the point of no return
Two women
confident, strong
compromising,
helping each other belong
