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
