not afraid

this feels big
but only when I lose perspective.
There are many rocks
           in
            the
              stream of life
but they all erode
                   over time

and this might feel like Goliath

6'9 and wielding
        sword,               spear             and javelin

but small stones
have a way of lodging themselves
                   right
                   between
                   the
                   eyes

take heart, I remember,
when dark forces overshadow...
when men taunt and
waves capsize all I know

there are no weapons mightier                                                       
than those that are
                                 invisible
  No armor
like the                      gates     of      heaven
wrapped around                your soul
