His mood shifted
Silent tears threatened to change his intent
His lingering finger on the trigger lifted
A smile, really?
Hesitation was never an option
Would never stop him
Wouldn’t keep him in this treacherous place
With only injustice to face
It was never worth the chase
He desired peace
Not this worldly tease
But a smile?
Was that what peace felt like?
The peace he lost sight of
Was this a response from above
His prayer heard?
His hold slackened
His head throbbed
Feelings of defeat forced him to laugh
Her smile
He needed to find her smile
He stood with a new resolve
His vision blurry with what peace felt like
Except his vision cleared
With a smile
