finding peace

the old couple
at the table beside us
are holding hands.

they say a few words.
but it's mostly nods and smiles.

saying things
with their hearts,
saying things with their eyes,
things
they both understand.

it's obvious how in love
they still are.

they are at peace with this
world. with
each other, and who they are.

they have won this war.
and who doesn't want that?
