Peace, such a marvel, a sea that the surface never ripples
For everyone it is different to earn such bliss, the harmony in life
There are many forms of peace, some are in the distractions, absorbing the mind
There is no misery in the delusion,
Yet its only as powerful as long as the game is played
Once done the peace will ebb away, turn into nothing but a memory
There is always a peace that only each person can find
It is there way to bliss, serenity, and it is only walked by each one
Only one delusion for each person, and one way to peace, And I'll reveal mine!
Music pumping through the air,
Stepping in time, to that wonderful swing
With each new dancer a new taste, savoring the flavor of the body's unity
Yet this is the peace,
That only stays, when distracted from the world
The Costly Peace is so much grander, for this is my path
A peace like no other when the darkness has passed
Defeated if only for now, by the light deep inside, and the unbending will
Though it strains at the mind, tears in the soul, and causes screams, it is worth it
Worth the suffering of taking other hells inside
For their darkness once purged leaves loved ones finally at peace
Giving them a night's sleep long since earned, Which no money could give
The chance to fade is always there,
Yet its so grand when the storm is gone,
To look around and see loved ones still here, thanks to love
A costly peace to the weak of heart,
For every heart weighs so much to place upon any being
Take it all in, becoming a form of hope, and a being who will love them forevermore
A costly peace yet a perfect peace
For when the pain has come and gone away
What remains are loved ones that no storm is to strong to tackle for them.
