Abortion, an opinion.
I sat on the terrace sun was flooding obliterating whiteness
escaped into the living room, observing four ships anchored in the bay.
Through the binoculars, vessels with long lines made to carry bulk loads
like grain, rice or coal; I spent many years on crafts like these.
This reminded me if abortion had been informal, I might not be born
in the time before World War 2 when abortion was hard to obtain
not, relaxed, with a quick visit to the hospital and a cup of coffee.
My mother (before women’s rights, was all for women’s rights) such as
equal pay and respect, but she thought abortion was morally wrong.
Since we lived in poverty, her sister showed up with a skipping rope
that might help induce a spontaneous abortion mother was not
into sport and preferred to read lengthy novels.
I cannot condone abortion on demand; I know the arguments
about a woman’s body is her own can do as she pleases.
A better reason must be given before the purge of the unborn.
They say that love is not selfish it is kind
But when it’s not, what awful carnage it leaves behind.
Strange feelings crowd your inner space
Tears find a resting place upon your lovely face.
Some people have no heart to give
So find others some to thieve
And yet it runs out like water though a sieve.
Purge your soul of this painful memory
Avoid the reminders like an allergy
He stole your heart you lost control
The tears your broken heart console
Your heart will find its place
Take each day at its pace
You will emerge from this it’s certain
It is not the end nor final curtain
Like all colours have a hue
And the grass it’s morning dew
You will survive and this is true.
Cryptic language with words that hide;
Secret message in ancient tides;
Mine the passage in mystic ride.
Linger a while on textures tough;
Thought waves that style beyond the rough;
An inner guile with pregnant stuff.
Heart within mind in pulse and urge;
Address ***** finds in sag and surge;
Go beyond kind in swirl and purge.
To find the core where meaning fills,
Discern some more the vital till;
Let knowing soar in precise will.
Address the space where time holds gist;
Accept the pace of rhymes that list;
Align the trace in hidden mist.
Knowing within the sacred code,
Beyond mere whim a wondrous mode;
Here yet unseen a pathway node.
Feeling the way within these grounds,
A tensile stay that firms around;
Pry cryptic sway with motive found.
Peel layers here that hold meaning;
Read beyond fear the deeper fling;
Ponder sense clear as answers sing.
Deep within see the hidden span:
Veiled legacy in sure attend;
Code that sets free an ancient blend.
Trace clues that spur your quest to know;
Go beyond blur to sublime show;
Let swirls unfurl the course of flow.
Thought hides cryptic in symbols deep;
Know dear mystic realms that now sleep;
Feel the magic as foliage creep.

Feel what heart knows with faith that styles,
Ask love to light the path of grace;
Intuit grand show where hope brings smiles,
Truth in sure sight wears a clear face;
Health knows the way to sculpt wise scope.
Hurl into space where time meets fate,
Opt thus this day to charm and cope;
Poise in fine trace can breeze each gate,
Etch a fond dream with peace of mind.
Purge thoughts of pain and dare to be,
Embrace deep streams with joy in kind;
Ask joy to gain what love now frees,
Calm stillness knows how all things start,
Engage that flow as soul primes heart.

Come to know truth with simple ease,
Stillness draws proof as heart feels peace.
Live silence well as stillness shows,
Calm joy works spell with profound flow.
Charm has a way to craft sure style,
Cheer packs fine stay with happy smiles.
Look deeper then to moments clear,
You know not when bold essence steers.
Love flings fond zest in message plain,
Just do your best to spark true gain.
When noise corrupts the noble art,
Dare to disrupt the angry heart.
There is a law that speaks to you,
Purge faulty flaws and be renewed.
Withdraw your gaze from empty things,
Dare to amaze with true being.
Seize with sure poise that inner hint,
Live a clear choice where good acts mint.

Once upon naught
All seems quite odd,
This certain nod,
In fancy sought.
There is a swirl
Where charm feels light,
A sanguine twirl
Where world finds sight.
So often now
The pace gains tact,
Yet truth somehow
Can purge the pact.
So many seek
That causal light,
Yet mild and meek
Forfeit true sight.
All seems a show
As shadows edge,
An eerie glow
That blots the rage.
Our tribal ways
Now seems forlorn,
As if these days
Are harshly borne.
Too much of noise
Can kill the verse,
Better to voice
Such poise most terse.
Mind and heart know
Uneasy flow,
Yet seek to grow
Stress that strains show.
Our paradox
Is but a trace
Chained in-the-box,
A fumbling space.
We seem to know
A blank page here,
Yet cannot show
What ails this fear.
So we proceed
To fling and fill,
Seize wants and needs
And just do deals.

In my wretchedness, so miserable
God compassionately reached down to me;
Offered me love, divinely valuable…
He paid by His blood* of sacrifice-fee.
Leaving heavenly throne, He brought freedom
That unshackled me from iniquities’ chain;
Against eternal pangs of hell’s kingdom…
He ransomed my soul, granting mercy’s gain.
Thru His forgiveness-might, He sought me out
Ushering my heart from guilt-angst's prison;
By His Word that conquers fear, woe and doubt…
He secures my spirit midst sins’ treason.
Thus, I can approach Him with faith’s fervor
While living for His glory and honor.
*Hebrews 9:14 How much more shall the blood of Christ, who through the eternal Spirit offered himself without spot to God, purge your conscience from dead works to serve the living God?

Honorable Mention, "BRIAN'S CHOICE F,any form,any theme" Poetry Contest
Sponsored by Brian Strand; judged on 5/16/2020.
As I float above a stream in blue sky
I watch images and hear whisper below
Shattered thoughts in reflections going by
Our love is sinking in the water flow
My fragile heart does break
As my new smiles turn fake
The tears are now awake
Dreadful thoughts surge
As we submerge
Let us converge
So I plead for you to understand why
To accept there are things you do not know
Trust in the direction the stream does take
Let love not purge

Placed 2nd in the puzzle of my rhyme contest.
Theme: Above A Stream
Words required: Blue, Whisper, Shattered, Fragile, Dreadful.
Severe disaster brought
Ruination and disruptive vegetation.
A scorching breeze increased devastation,
From unscrupulous persons unknown:
Hidden fierce fire
That spread rapidly.
A hush,
For no life could be in evidence,
Except for stouthearted firefighters
Risking their cherished lives.
A wild dry wind swirled suddenly.
Smoke became untamed,
An aching purgatory
No ocean can purge.
The fiery cloud
Covered the forest green;
Moonlight snuffed out,
Concealed, tormented,
A message of ill will,
As children cried and gasped,
Families were reduced homeless,
In hurry to elope from the tragedy.
Helpless animals unable to escape died.
A taste of vandalism,
Or terrorism?
Or man made climate change?

Secrets of the heart here:
Apt deeper knowing free,
Glimpse fond mystic good cheer,
Exult soul journey spree.
Opt to know that pure bliss:
Make each moment reveal,
Art and science in pure peace,
Rapture awaits true feel.
Keep that mystic gaze bright:
Hope and faith and love meet,
Ask for wisdom and light,
Yield to a touch most sweet;
Yonder beyond mere earth:
Apt music in pure strains,
Meet thus a timeless mirth.
Indulge love’s deep refrain:
Note the passage most meek,
Stillness calls in a glimpse,
Prize bold vision that speaks;
Incline soul dream that streams:
Rise and purge vain desires,
Empty all vain thoughts now.
Mind-body thus attires:
Yield as true love endows,
Sense in seeing bright grace,
Truth in bright cast of light;
Intuit a timeless face:
Crisp word craft in glimpse bright,
Pique that feel thus mellow,
Here and Now embrace whole;
Invoke fire in marrow:
Lavish workings of soul,
Old beyond buzz of time,
Spirit calls us to peace;
Odd and even thus rhyme:
Profound in true soul lease,
Happy joy in calm lot,
Ere cacophony pains,
Rich that heavenly thought.
Affluent moments sans strains:
Niche in a mellow calm,
Dance of spirit attain.
Glimpse as soul utters psalm:
Embrace bliss in refrain,
Now as rapture instructs,
Impress dear soul and heart;
Urge love in pure construct:
Subtle stillness prompts art.
Peace in steadfast deep mirth:
Obtain rich poignant feel,
Exult soul sense of birth,
Thrill deep touch of goodwill.
Taste beyond sensuous touch:
Heed true rapture you face,
Use brief time to bloom much,
See that timeless true grace.
Puzzle fits due season:
Ripples in the swift wind,
Observe beyond mere reason,
Choice in worlds in-between;
Love and light and grace here:
Ample and lavish psalm,
Ink stains as words bridge spheres,
Meet and ground soul trip calm.
