Level Chinese Peace Poem by Kimberly Burnham

In Old Chinese
ancient words of peace
"bhreŋ" is also level
even and just
as if there can be peace if things are even and fair
a negotiation table that is level
and with 穩 "wǝ̄́n"
peace is fast and stable
different that even and level but still
a sense of security
as well as 晏 "rānh" or "yàn"
bright pleasant and mild
as if mild-mannered bright and pleasant people
have peace quickly follow them
surrounding them
