people and places once held highly <\/p>\n\n\n\n
that matter so little now<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Changes and choices amid the chaos <\/p>\n\n\n\n
bear no nostalgic filters <\/p>\n\n\n\n
just memories of times before<\/p>\n\n\n\n
believed to be so difficult <\/p>\n\n\n\n
yet easier than those we\u2019d find further down<\/p>\n\n\n\n
the paths our lives would lead<\/p>\n\n\n\n

or deference to what came previous <\/p>\n\n\n\n
but in awe and mourning of <\/p>\n\n\n\n
the folly we were facing <\/p>\n\n\n\n
in ever thinking things would hinge <\/p>\n\n\n\n
so precariously on foundations built <\/p>\n\n\n\n
entirely of that which we didn\u2019t understand <\/p>\n<\/body>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
