Nature's Call
Cool soft saint Augustine under
bare feet, fresh earth scent
wafting through the breeze;
Gardenia's sweet fragrant bloom
with buzzing bee in pursuit.
Hammock swaying under the
shade tree, beckoning me
to just be, with Thee....

The Brain-Heart Test
In what good has it all come to
In my imaginary mind?
We roll through the wake of the water,
Goddammitting our way through.
Rising with our victories.
Cursing in our swift descents.
Buddhists are laughing on the shoreline.
I’m selling popcorn on the boat.

Augustine Was Right
Time an illusion,
to make sense of reality
Reality an illusion,
to order and place
Order an illusion,
to all that’s a given
What’s given Divine
—indefinable Grace

October Weeds
The kids that sing silently
And the kids that grow like dandelions
Out from St.Augustine lawns
The ones with October-sheltered downcast pupils
That tuck pride into calf-high stockings
They don’t see trouble,
Their heads lifted up towards angelic heavens
Bodies stranded on those cracked-sidewalks....

The Choice
Every man hath the choice,
To do whate'er he will,
Let my choice be to follow Thee,
And be what You would have me be.
For You give to us only the best,
And only in You do we find our rest.**
(copyright 10/30/15)
**You have made us for Yourself, O Lord, and our hearts are restless until they rest in You. - St. Augustine...

The Sun Rise -Birth of Nathania Augustine Joyluv Williams-
A mother
Waddles
Into the hospital
They lay her down
They prep her
Time is now to birth a child
And upon this day
God has said
The sunrise July 14,
A spirit/physical burst forth
Now then is how it begins
The sunrise, the birth of …

A Different Whole
“We live between
the beasts and the Angels”
On this topic
Augustine was right
Our intellects bear
what our impulses share
Separating the wrong
from the right
We live between
the Lord and the devil
Each claiming a stake
in our souls
As primates absolved
into humans evolved
Two halves
—of a now different whole
(St Davids Pennsylvania: June, 2019)...

Together We Started
Young, we started life together but fate forked us separate ways:
Some folks continued while others dropped out at the elementary.
On and on we were done with the competitions of the basic days;
Andrew became a schoolmaster and Aggrey a sly entrepreneur,
Augustine became a man of science treating and mending the sick.
And I became a tottering tinkerer of prose and a weaver of rhymes.
I still wish to know what became of the boys we called Peter and Dick…...
