Life abstracts
4 short breaths of –hales
Acknowledging breathes ins/outs
God’s kiss life itself
~
Touching my beating heart so throbs my chest explains up and down
My souls delight my spirit embrace embodiments of joyous love
Merrily so abound within my vessel my crown thinks about
~
Around the blackness of open spaced heaven
I am created and sent down toward open terrain shown
Through the fallopian uterus carried so dwell in
Around the blackness of open spaced heaven
Encased in darkness I AM purest light barren
Eating the lot of earth breads of leaven sown
Around the blackness of open spaced heaven
Expression sessions of second days of procession

chaos lashes the word
crisis bites the action
pallor adorns the figure
blush enchants the idyll
Abstracts of a July Morning
David J Walker
I
I dreamed about a man selling
The scent of breakfast
He said I could pick the delivery
Date and time
And if I dared to imagine
Imagine an image of my father
That could replace the cook
And the rest of the fantasy (and breakfast)
Would be mine
II
The traffic lights glow reveals
the flow of lost travelers turning
from green to yellow then red
who thought they knew the way
and now no matter what they said
they are moving
among the absent and dead at the
cost of a mornings dissolution
III
What was your birthstone
who revealed your celebrations
do you remember the names
of the strangers who stopped you
from falling and bathed you in
the fountains of the Holy Water
from a garden hose
IV
July is duplicitous and part of a
Conspiracy to mute the coolness
Of summer mornings
There will be no
Weather warnings as
The day lingers into
Another warm summer evening
He deems the ways and dares to understand,
a measure of a love that went astray,
from libelled forces, which compelled his hand,
to lies, and morals left to slow decay.
No one forgo or risk refute her right,
a stubborn choice is seldom steered by sense.
To cease callow mishaps from leaving blight .
sound case to aid her act of self-defence.
Yet, who can purge despair from a man’s soul,
who boldly baulked against such mortal deed?
His choice dismissed as outside his control,
no matter pleading creed, indeed, his breed.
Such anguish will forever convolute
because abstracts are never absolute.

You are free to choose, but you are not free to alter the consequences of your decision
– Ezra Taft Benson (politician)
Autumn flaunts
splendiferous
colors;
rich earthy tones,
gilded in gold leaf.
Mobiles and abstracts;
form, Nature's
finest
works of art.
Brisk breezes,
weave crisp orange leaves;
into crunchy speckled
shrouds,
of awesome beauty.
Broad brushstrokes..a mystery of abstraction
..personal impressions ..expressed
step up close
undo the
zip
