Granite

I reject being hijacked by
the trifling delusions of those 
who infer judgmental sway.

Over me.

Misguided presumptions
of relevance belie their relative
inconsequence to all matters
defining me.

No free passage into 
my sanctuary, concealed
by walls chiseled.

From black granite.

Veins flowing with Aenides
gold, I grow stronger.

With age.

My moments have no intervals
and I won’t be distracted from 
my journey.
