78 Poems Tarot Project: Two of Swords

"Two of Swords" by Christiana Gaudet, appears in "Arcana: The Tarot Poetry Anthology".

Peace is a balance kept
In balance and
Not without risk.

The heart knows, but wants anyway.
It should not make these decisions.
Sometimes, the heart speaks,
But should not be heard.

Once unheard, the heart may resort
to screaming, and then fall
silent.

In that silence,
There is peace.
