Best Blessedness Poems
Blessedness
Love's a serenade that never grows old,
a melodic harmony of the soul.
Quote poets own
There's a light that constantly beams
From Heavens heart o’er Earth it gleams
Thrilling one's soul with blessedness
Charismatic contentedness.
When we find our world bathed in love
It's the work of our Lord above
There’s nothing that God wouldn't do
If we yearn to love as He does too.
Hark when you’re hearing Heavens call
It’s a revelation for us all
Faith flowing from one to another
Swells bands of sisters and brothers.
All flowers that bloom, every tree
Creatures on land and below the sea
Are members of God's family
Meant to live in tranquility.
Every humble and lowly heart
Who walk along the righteous path
Build a stairway to paradise
With blessedness of the Lord's light.
King of Kings, Lord God almighty
Creator of humanity
Formed to dwell in the unity
Of a peaceful community.
Such a difference a Faith makes
And blessedness is all it takes.

Blessed by God, source of eternal bonus
Bound am I to burst with gratitude bliss
Basking under His light, sublimely bright.
Benefitted midst divine banquet
Breath of mine brings out worship blows
Bestowed well with the Bread of life bountifully.
Beseeching the Saviour for favored blessings
Burdened soul earnestly seeks help in my prayer bouts
Begging to aid me when broken, blinded and bruised.
Beautified with faith that’s Bible-based
Blooming am I in the Saviour, joyously beaming
Braced to serve, reaching-out against selfishness bondage.
Behaving as Christ’s believer
Built am I upon beatitude brand
Bearing His goodness of blessedness.*
“Even as David also describeth the blessedness of the man, unto whom God imputeth righteousness without works.” Romans 4:6 of the King James Bible

Blessedness speaks in the morning,
its voice, carried on drops of dew
that dance with the sun’s deep kiss
on the grasses and trees,
as they wait in silent prayer,
ever ready to make confession,
to sing praise to a new born day—
never to be tried again.
Eternity holds life and death in its
twenty-four hour arms and says,
“Jump, jump into this portal of bliss,
your home, sweet home.
Wrap yourself in the blessedness
that speaks in the morning,
for it speaks only to you.”
B lessedness- God's gift that crowns my soul-
L ifting my heart to keep me feeling whole.
E nabling my mind to comprehend
S unshine and rainbows chose me to befriend.
S teadfast, deep love from family and kin;
E uphorically, praising joys within.
D evoted love in marriage all these years;
N urturing together- smiles and cheers.
E xuberance, contentedness, I feel;
S uch words alone cannot truly reveal
S olemnity of blessedness- surreal!

(thank you All Poetry, Facebook, family

A network of cherished kinships allied
forged, and linkedin analogous
to union of groom and bride
thru electronic bonds engender intrigue,
nonetheless unconditionally accept,
no matter I chide
self, and reference mine existence
as if...this mortal already died
now more appreciative than ever,
cuz younger days witnessed
peers that did elide
me accompanied with relentless
teasing, snubbing, roasting
akin tubby kindled over a fireside,
thus...solitude shadowed me as sole guide
peopled with books
to escape and hide
from so called "real"
webbed world, yet inside
this former grievous
lad through alienation,
emasculation, and isolation no joyride
valuing myself less than a pawn on
chessboard of life
envying extrovert as kingside
station depriving, insulating, and
ostracizing yours truly belied
to Matthew Scott Harris
marginally functioning, and denied
him camaraderie, dating, enjoying
female friendships due
to lack of confidence and pride
and at the cusp of
pubescence...a slow descending ride
into the hungry (anorexic)
maws of suicide,
which ideations hammer psyche,
now aghast how I tried
(without success) to disappear sundering
mine complex edifice
into the wide
abyss of nothingness, hence to treasure
those electronic connections,
perhaps...totally no more'n four score
(and seven years ago)
all told of unbeknown village people
comprising worthy chums,
sans human league roar
ring (okay pardon the hyperbole),
but letting this foo fighter explore
a greater range of interpersonal
(no matter virtual), but each
unnamed cyber buddy worth more
than simple rhyming galore
words express, some
or all those who sprung
from Earth, wind and fire,
viz cosmic toreador
this poet would their
physical presence adore,
who realizes genuine experienced love
second best option
communicated thru the Internet...bonjour,
hence please accept at the least
(even thee lovely cousins,
daughters, sister Shari por favor,
a hug emanating from within mine
integrated central processing unit core!

BLESSEDNESS
Your blessedness and bouquet gift of bougainvilleas
leaves me breathless
the beautiful and beloved butterfly bereaved
and brokenhearted sees humanity lying lifeless
on the bloodstained dying fields of greed
the perpetrator’s brouhaha will die with their arrogance
without blessedness
Silver dreams
Golden promises
Yellow Sorrows downtrodden
Purple blessings upstart
Blue royalty set apart
Inside me softened heart
Birth in Christ Jesus
Born in forgiveness
Mercy's Grace Hallelujah blessed
Blessingness

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2o23
Bewildered by cacophonic sounds of mind,
I chose to step outside the stream of thought flow
into the vast void, leaving desires behind
and as I did this, my heart became mellow,
outpouring compassion beauteous and kind,
inking the universe with a mystic glow,
whereupon melding thus with the all that is,
my heart began dispersing mists of pure bliss.
God’s grace is immediate and intimate
and in truth there is nothing we need to do,
save gentling heart and making thought flow sedate,
that His bountiful benedictions renew,
whence heart celebrates as in-form nodes gyrate,
releasing nectar like the fresh morning dew
and thus this is-ness of being-ness of soul,
are divine blessings, ancient scriptures extol.

Two scales must always be balanced,
the relationship between God
and Mankind should stand forever;
where the impetuous wind originates
there must be an indeniable force
to cause a destructive impact!
Solutions are to be found before
a catastrophe suddenly strikes,
those ignoring it are skeptical;
how ironic is their response to assume
they are completely immune to harm!
The constellations are stupendous
and amaze the stargazers
with their sheer magnificence;
can they deny they aren't
the handiwork of the Almighty?
Deplorable souls cry out of their misery
afflicted by the calamities that have
befallen them, while their embittered spirits
moan not finding comfort for their despair.
The joyful praises of the gathered believers
rise to the Heavens blazing with bright colors,
and glorifying Him for His eternal creations
they attest to the splendor of the vivid sunset.

The ocean of the almighty has swept me in,
Each battle of existence I easily win;
Needs of health, wealth, fame, fortune, and endowments met,
My life, like the rhythm of the cosmos, is set...!
I feel as though Buddha, the truly enlightened,
I enter a state of nirvana, unfrightened;
Likes and dislikes, like twigs in falls, are now withered,
Divine grace, like daily bread, per need, delivered...!
I seek him in truth; eat his body; drink his blood;
His life flows in me, like the waters of a flood;
I am meek and humble of heart to uphold him,
My joy, like a pitcher near wells, fills to the brim...!
His body was broken, and blood was shed; for me,
His grace makes me, here on earth, his kingdom to see;
There's no involution, but evolution now,
Christ is my life; in him I live; to him I bow...!
