\u00a0Back To That New Place<\/strong><\/p>\n

Noise. Confusion. Turmoil.<\/p>\n

Surrounded by the music of chaos.<\/p>\n

The muscular winds hint of<\/p>\n

Some radical cleansing just ahead.<\/p>\n

A restoration of sorts, perhaps.<\/p>\n

Or maybe something altogether alien and new.<\/p>\n

What was once so natural and expected<\/p>\n

Things of dignity, and modesty,<\/p>\n

And excellence, and virtue,<\/p>\n

Feel now so foreign and so distant,<\/p>\n

And all but out of reach.<\/p>\n

But from deep within,<\/p>\n

A primitive reconciliation stirs<\/p>\n

Commanding my essence,<\/p>\n

My very being,<\/p>\n

To closely observe this day,<\/p>\n

As if the sole witness<\/p>\n

To that very first light.<\/p>\n

A light affirmed as\u00a0good<\/em>,<\/p>\n

A light which split the darkness.<\/p>\n

And which now illuminates a path<\/p>\n

Back to that new place.<\/p>\n

As we move forward together,<\/p>\n

In solitude.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Peace<\/p>\n
