Poem 425 – It Takes Two

A waltz can be stopped
when one partner sits down,
but for a dance to be danced
both partners are needed.

A war can be caused
by the actions of one,
but for peace to be peace
both parties are needed.

After the news of Trump’s calling Putin about the end of the war in Ukraine, I’m hoping his approach is more than mere appeasement.
