irenic

though I try 
most times 
to keep myself serene
in conflict I 
too oft lose my calm
frustration turns to tears
when I am thwarted 
in reason or in deed
or accused unjustly 
of some crime of thought 
or words not mine own

to reconcile my heart
back to irenic state
I struggle in ego
knowing in
righteousness I 
may be wrong yet
and the fire of passion 
for a truth or an ideal
has never kept me warm 
as forgiveness or a kiss
