Truth's Lodging

For those grieving the loss of a marriage, the end of a cherished relationship, and the absence of answers


Forego ardent protest and creative supplication 
Relying on inference - a fool's condemnation

Discard diffidence, perception's jaded visor
Obscurity and darkness, veracity's quagmire

Truth's breath is transparent, impervious to contagion
Armored against malice and miscalculation

Empathy and insight born of its womb 
In its embrace, deceit finds its tomb 

To pursue its lodging, a futile expedition
Mourning its absence, gratuitous self-sedition

In the breast of its seeker – therein ends the quest 
Its province ubiquitous; its form manifest
