Met by chance a coincidence
Met by chance a sudden whim by the side of a window isle , speedy montage , a train track
Never to fancy about a becoming, monsieur
Before then too t'was a maiden, a shrew, enjambment and a refrain, clerihew!
A gorgeously red wedding chant, a royal vow, know-how
pomegranate a hue, a blushing knew!
Today, the silky hue was a blackened clue, inconclusive
a garment and arose an eve, and a grievance whence Eden sank in grief!
Fancied about a wall, non , none, never, to belong
a myrtle a suntanned thistle thal home bound, a letter poem, enclosed envelope!
From hothat dekha an early composition

pray for mankind
pray for peace
peace in fruits
peace that lasts
lasts that breathe
lasts of memories
memories of love
memories sealed
sealed at the throne
sealed and delivered
delivered from sin
delivered and sanctified
sanctified with grace
sanctified and learning
learning to be humble
learning to be kind
kind to all
kind and serving
serving the faithful
serving mankind
mankind we beckon
mankind draw near
near to Christ’s heart
near to His Word
Word of God speak
Word of great worth
Worth-y is the Almighty
Worth all expenditure
Expenditure of time
Expenditure of gold
Gold in the leap
Gold-en is faith

We are created to create.
A shared foundation is instilled,
Diversely skilled, we join and build.
Equipped with tools to navigate.
Faith guides but will not implement,
Make use of this free will we're sent.
We have a say in our own fate.
Walk on and earn what you can't give,
Be worthy of this life and live.
Each day’s a gift, participate.
Potential lies in each mistake,
Find purpose in the risks you take.
Blessings pass by an idle wait.
So search for chances to assist,
Or time will waste on what's been missed.
I have no shoes shall we dance;
I don't gamble shall we play a game of chance;
I have a pet aardvark should I feed him ants;
I have vertigo am I in a trance;

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2022
I don't want to say goodbye
I want to say I tried
I leave you with these prayers
These ashes that I see, that haunt me in my dreams
Must be the dreams that burn
The change your hearts will feel
The water that you drink
The food you choose to eat
Can change the path we take
I know you're only one
But many look to you
The choices that you make
The forests that they burn
For profits in the aisle
Make homelessness a curse
This fragile crust of earth
This precious place called home
Is gone in just a flash
The rising seas of change
Are flooding as I write
I put these words in ink
One poets only wish
Is that I show the world
The change begins with me
I sing for all to hear, it's not too late to act
Tho devastation is at hand, the tide can
slowly change, if each of you can see
The choices that you make
Will thunder 'round the world
