A Different Whole (+5)

“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)

Its Unrest

Can you ever prove a negative,

  have you ever really tried

To show that God does not exist,

or love not verified

‘To Be Or Not To Be’

is then a half-truth at the best

Belief a claim you can’t defame

  —with logic its unrest

(St. Davids Pennsylvania: June, 2019)

The Truth Is

God does not exist…

existence a material term

Transcending all dimension,

His presence wholly burns

Not temporal or timeless,

His light as knowledge gives

Not forgiving or forsaking

—the truth in God just is

(St. Davids Pennsylvania: June, 2019)

Lost—Unfelt

Beyond all critical thinking,

above what’s right or wrong

There’s a different understanding,

where words turn into song

With a deeper sense of freedom,

light shines upon itself

All reasoned dialectic,

left abandoned, lost—unfelt

(Rosemont Pennsylvania: June, 2019)

The Fire's Burn

Can you understand

without thinking

Can you know more than

your mind can learn

Can you overflow

without leaking

Can you see

—beyond the fire's burn

Diamond Of The Soul

    May your reasons bejewel in truth

—the diamond of the soul

(Villanova Pennsylvania: December, 2016)
