There are places
Of peace
Of tranquility
Of peace
Of tranquility
Places where we simply
Are
Places where we simply
Be
Fascinating
How often I find
Places of worship there
When we seek something larger
Something grander
Something divine
In ourselves
These are the places we go
Say what you will
About religion
About the religious
About corruption
Corruption does not need religion
Or the religious
History has shown it to be
Content in philosophy and science
For myself
I set aside the religion
And the corruption
And the hatred
To seek the divine
To seek love
So I come to these places
And find them
In all things
