Angel Best Friend

I have two best friends one is The Angel of the Lord.
the other is my friend Kay.
I know love matters so I trust In God to be with me always.
Jumping for Joy I am one with Love.
my best friend is amazing even though she might not see it I do and I make sure she knows I see it.
Lions Wolves Bears and Cows.
Under the sunny day I exist on a field of green grass with Kay and Yeshua. 
Danny Loves Lucky Luciano Brian Loves Brenda. I love Kay and Yeshua

Love Never dies

I am Eternal.
Love never dies.
Waiting for Jesus some stop waiting.
I love you Jesus any day now you will be back.
Knowing you the plan is amazing.


Ambassador and Bard

Trusting in the Word I write my dreams into reality.
nights chasing shadows I recall a bell tolling for me.
Juniper stew with oranges and beef.
Lights of Sparrows rooted inside my heart.
Yearning for my present moment.
mounting the earth I am one with the ocean.
flames falling from the heavens an emerald light taking over all the sky.
King Lord Best Friend Jesus I learned I have been the Problem.
My reactions to my feelings are the things I can control.
I must choose to react with Love.

Yeshua You are Wonderful

Hey Yeshua I am glad you brought me back to life
I am excited to be your best friend forever
Yellow Sparrow that sings we miss you
A Jay Bird that sings I love you
My best friend With peace for us all
Thank you Yeshua for saving my soul
They say they are building a third temple soon
That means you are coming back soon Lord Yeshua my Jesus
I love you always not everyone right now believes but I trust in you Jesus
I know you are coming back soon I can feel it
Truth you are the Truth Jesus my Yeshua my Best friend. 
I love Anna your creation who is also my best friend. 
You taught me Lord that I can have many best friends and I know I do
Anna is a mystery so I will let her stay a Mystery as long as she wishes
I am no mystery I am Yours Lord and I Love You Sir thank you forever

Black Birds

Borrowing cosmic rays
Yearning to soar across the sea
Jumping for joy 
Birds singing just to me
Open trust in God
Kites flying toward the heavens
Mounting the horizon
Venturing forth toward the Lamb
His blood washed me clean
Black birds swarm the cities
Hidden agendas spark concern
Love guides my heart
In the south we saw our best friend Jamil
My brother Brian helped me understand I am Loved by God
God helped me understand He Loves us all
Trust in Jesus he is our best friend from forever


Liminal Sky

I recall walking round about in silly circles
Always ended up back home
Doom averted
Silent shouts for joy and bliss
My Kamera you captured my heart
Wavy chips and sour grits
echoes of you foot steps in the distance 
I see you with my eyes open In my Minds eye
Under avowed distance we grew deeper and deeper in Love
Perth or Waco or York I am Kami's forever where ever I am
Nothing can destroy my Love for you Milla my Best friend
Our Love is Eternal

My Dog Lily

Lily you are so much more than just my Texas Lady you are a fellow Ambassador of Love

Premium Member why didn't Austin Butler start singing 'trouble' by Elvis Presley during the fight scene in Dune

it was therefore disappointing
but what ain't

hardcore science fiction
climate fiction

ecological lollocks
hero's journey balloon juice

Patrick Stewart on the baliset
is the definition of rock and roll

keep your expectations low going into the cinema
keep them low on the film

keep them low on the audience
for there can be no greater relief

leaving the theatre
when you say to a friend,

'thank christ everyone behaved.'

Grandson and Grandad composition

Boston To Austin

It’s all good, it will be
The printer will print
Will that settle the soul?
For now anyway?

It’s not about the TV
Or the lack of furniture
Or worry about money
Or who likes you or not

It’s about perspective 
How to understand what happens 
In the wide open space
That is life, the future

It’s what we can control 
the wisdom of age 
And how that feels condescending
But it’s not; it’s experience 

It’s speaking through time
So annoying to the young
“You don’t get it” echoes
Through generations and family lines

It’s the blankness in spaces
Between one life 
And the successive beings
who push and pull 
Until they split off, a separate orbit

BEING JOAN MIRO

All the common fears and complaints of life
      may be put to canvas
                                   one need only tap the gift	   
 Of looking into
                              of looking through
That  imperceptible  crowd  of creative gravity                                  
      where might be found
Things      no-things      no-forms
      afloat     whirling    or resting
In the unconscious mansions

Find the brush’s will    not your own
Groups of many colors appear
      Scattered or blended
Shapes of no earthly form
Infinite the possibilities

Put here-and-now aside
Let the brush have its will

THE ABSENT YEARS

life becomes so sweet
so precious life to the eye
life in all its forms –
the rock strewn stream bubbles life
even those worn-round pebbles

a silver fish drowned
soaked to death in my shower
strange how sad i felt
after watching it struggle
after offering nothing

like mixed emotions
when i tangle spider’s web
the tiny worker
tiny artist full of life
and i so full of myself

death now seems all round
and i only half alive
in my absent years
floating down that rock-strewn stream
drowned silver fish, sad spider


Dave Austin / written 2013
A very favorite writer of mine who died in 2017. God bless my friend, Daver.

Three Words

when you love someone
you should never hesitate to tell them
unafraid of hearing it back

love isn’t based on reciprocation 
but what is given

say it confidently
say it loud 
but don’t hold it in 
love is a strong feeling

holding it in can destroy you
but for what? because your scared?
be brave in the game of love
because you could pass up your soulmate 

due to fear
you could lose a lifetime of happiness.

so in conclusion, i love you

Premium Member Partial Solar Eclipse -- Austin 30 May 1984

There was a solar eclipse today.
Only partial, but enough to make you want to look.
It made me sad.
I didn't have a piece of smoked glass or ultra-dark Ray Bans, and certainly not a solar scope.
Looking up, I saw the sun flash through leaf-made pinholes waving in the breeze.
Disappointed, I looked down,...
and discovered a thousand crescent suns dancing at my feet.
