‘Truth’s Dwelling Place’

a Spirit

free of a liar's lace
not found in boldface

waiting in growth
not to be displaced

set inside for you to brace
the simplicity
of a well-run race

for the given of a Spirit's grace
if returned as received
to its original sinless pace
makes all former falsehoods
worthy of credit in grace

then a new life embraced
preparing for a Judge
in face to face
