Poem Title:
Poem
Standing tall in heaven, beyond the walls of eternity; Up placement to a new realm of a physical reality; Rebirthed to life to live on this stone, made of earth; Statue of premise promised to envelop; Rebirthed now an embryo; Curled up laying there with my eyes closed; Heat, beating lungs, breathing; Blood flowing through my veins; Come out of my mother's womb (room); Cut the cord out of the sack; No longer knowing where I am at; Eyes still closed don't wanna see what I look like; But if you look at me the difference between; I'm alive breathing in air heart beating I'm not dead; Now older matured a teen, an adult; Laying in the bed, eyes are closed; (wide open-shut?) Laying there horizontal; How do you know I'm not dead; Lived a long life been in and out; Had ups and downs, never to sickly always had crumbs; Didn't have to worry, bout' nothing; Always had at lease something's; Now I've released the spirit of the ghost; Seems I didn't have a choice, Gone on in; You see me now laid out in a new suit in a coffin; You don't know where I am going; But I tell you one thing here I lay, there; Lungs not breathing, blood not flowing through my veins; Well eyes still shut you said you loved me but, Now I think now I'm dead This is mankind's, life or death eternity; Written by James Edward Lee July 6 2015(c) ( For 2015 book UNO's Poetry to Bridge Generations University of Nebraska at Omaha )
