Too Much Peace

Write a poem inspired by or containing these words. Is there such a thing as too much peace?

Doldrums

Give me a challenge and a goal

To focus my energy against

Like the wind. My sails and mast

Will drive my empty soul.


Doldrums hate motion.

Passive pale defeat purely

Overwhelms more surely

Than roiling ocean.


So give me a fight and make me care,

A cause, a war, a calling,

For action is forestalling

The twin of too much peace—

Despair.
