Goliath's Stone


Downwind

of my perception

Upwind

before the fall

Immune

in my protection 

From dullards 

at the mall

 

The past

remains in focus

The future

but a myth

My words

fall out of judgment

Each phrasing

to enrich

 

To read 

with understanding

To hear

beyond the din

To feel

beyond the senses

To love

beyond the rim

 

Released 

without containment

On wings

not leased or loaned

Into

the inner sanctums

With time

— Goliath’s stone
