Another Way

Late in the evening,

we toil over

how to remedy

arguments and conflicts

 

Does resolution come

From defending

my ground

 

By being sure

to establish

your error

 

Is life

like a court

of law

 

Is life as

a platform

for debate

 

The answer may be

far afield,

In an arena

where shared

Inner feelings

and misperceptions

trump facts

 

Where love is

honest enough

to yield

renewed commitments
