Peace is relative; perhaps it is a will-o-the-wisp, pulling us deeper in the quagmire seeking it.

Your poem reads like a walk-through of a plan in which you discover the deeper consequences. It's like revelation. Well done.

Hello Melvin,

The title made me initially think of 24 hours, so a surprise to see it was years. I like the refrain on ' a leap of faith' I like the 'everybody vs nobody, eleph(ants) and the personification of the 'eager ground' All in all a neat, clever write.

Well done,

Michael
