a spectral being – v2

The Spirit of Truth,
a spectral being,
a breath, a whisper of God,
unseen, invisible, mysterious,
because we cannot see it,
we cannot perceive spirit,
for we know Him not…
 
The Spirit of Truth,
an indictment, a rebuke,
speaking out against injustice,
words we refuse, we deny,
invisible hand of God, presence,
a mystery, a whisper, a prayer,
imparted by our Father, by God…
