red leaves break the air~
a sudden scatter of light
crossing the cool wind
Heat
leans against the afternoon,
a pale shimmer trembling
on the lip of every leaf.
A single yellow kite
tugs at its string
as if the sky were soft enough
to open.
Somewhere,
a lawn sprinkler
scatters silver syllables
across the grass,
and the day
brightens its pulse
to listen.
On this faithful day
Sudden gunshots everywhere
People running scattered
It's a dispute in my city
Gunshots everyday
So many innocent lives were taken unlawfully
People dies everyday just like mayflies.
Houses were burnt down
Leaving many homeless
Endangering so many lives
Agony everywhere
But the killing continues, no seizing of fire
Participants giving scores within themselves
Scores of numbers of the people they've killed.
Circle keeps repeating
Everyone avenging, death of their lost ones
It was a blood bath, until there was a victor
Prominent men in the city
Involved the government and more
Just like karma always visits, educating and repaying
Peace at last, amidst grief and vengeance
Welcome to the coolest city in the world.
And so I submit to survive
I so survive because I am blessed love
and protected and guarded embraced in my Father’s arms in His light life
ever recently I derived
From His mouth spoken in the universe
I shine brighter than the star for
He's in me and I saw humanity fly
We, I am the spark of Heaven
I shine on this brighter is the sun
I am, we are His adorned son
Souls we I we shine I we interact I we am blessed
All sre one, we are one in Him
and on track I we shine we're going to move
through space through the tunnel of the vessel
that will and has embraced me
I come through the portal of the womb
but not wounded
I am we are whole I trespassed as I walk
Briefly on this Earth to share my witness
My Father's life on this planet Earth

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2024
Past, Present, Future
what has become, and will be.
Your life's brief story.
Boiled temperature gauges persist moving toward some rise,
Besought naught obtrude yonder worlds prevailing demise,
Barn weathered vanes, dared storms, spun tightly screwed,
Bear breathless trickles of feigning serendipitously spewed,
Barren, a wasteland of previously vigorous grown knowledge,
Birth nebulous yon views lost revelation of scriptures pledge,
Blessed genuine patterns gift, obscured by grandeur, plagues hosts,
Beings ambitious proposal soulless, a world mature of ghosts.

your eyes are not a chain
but why my heart depends on you
so stories begin
what is said is a lie
not every bullet finds its target
but does fear not remain
desolate was dominates
does not remember the endings
chain sound
in my dark cell
you don't want to hear
rob your heart
in a nook
let the fallen not be seen
cold and far away
dreams are not colours
one day waits everyone
nightmare
trail rides are now your eyes
after a few steps I know
my heart is a hunt of eagle's mouth
your haunting shadow is disappears
when the sun is drawn
how come you didn't notice
those who go quietly
say
my lost coast
my waters were withdrawn
don't look for a trace
other than forgotten songs
Live in the light
That prompts grand sight
Love knows the way
In fun and play
Joy sparkles bright
As heart feels light
Hope makes faith show
A lovely flow
Keep peace of mind
In words laid kind
Deep in your heart
Love weaves true art
Start with your soul
To live one whole
Go on your way
Grow as you play
Dare to live grand
Your lovely trends

you seem will be taking fire
from my fire
my ashes are left behind
smoke in my everywhere
