She’s always found right
Whereas he’s always found wrong
He’s her perfect match
He’s probably right
Whereas she’s probably wrong
But he keeps the peace
Chiselling at it
Venturing past right and wrong
They’ve found perfect peace

More than meets the eye, as all your poems are. But I kinda like this, for even when you talk about harmony, you leave no scope for balance in between the lines. Delightfully ironic!

Ben, I can really relate to this. I think it was Wayne Dyer who said that it’s better to be kind than right (though not always true in some situations). As your last lines suggest, we must eventually venture past right and wrong. It’s not really about that, after all. 🙂

A lot of energy – and good will – can be lost by arguments and after all we have limited time. 🙂

Yes – a huge waste of energy. And often regret for things said that can’t be unsaid. And like you said, we only have so much time. Eventually we learn that most things aren’t worth arguing about. And a sense of humor during disagreements often saves the day. 🙂

Unless the other views the humour as a further attack. 😦
Here’s a relevant piece that I don’t believe you have seen but will probably bring a smile.

You’re right – it must be mutually felt, seeing the humor of our selves together. Laughing with, not at. (My first husband used to laugh at me which only infuriated me further.)
Thanks for the link to your older poem – I love it! (Yes, made me smile. 🙂 ) One of many poems I missed during the time we were moving.

Great poem, Ben, and compromise came to mind after reading…and, of course, the wisdom of realizing that peace is much safer than being right. 🙂

Thank you, Lauren. And not only safer but more positive and loving, I think. 🙂
