Spaces and Places

for Truth shall never die, it does dwell
in the inward crevices of our
wheres and theres,
and our places and spaces.
spaces and places, and
wheres and theres
that are only known to me…and yours to you.
truth will never die
as long as people like the us
tend gingerly to the crevices, where hope survives.
that courage holds onto just enough
of the virtuous gift of Truth to stand the trial
of tyranny’s vile
desire to steal away Truth
beyond infinity’s gates.
to hold on and secure the secret
tiny crevices, which forever
maintain that Truth hid well
within all our watchful hearts
assures tyranny’s eventual depart.
