Rough cut pieces of wood bearing many splinters,
they shall be a portal through which all sin enters,
blood soaked nails being constantly driven,
one set of nails that will have a story written,
from a sapling these pieces of wood were chosen,
a destination to end stained a color of rosen,
part of history that will never be forgotten,
a mark of courage for even the downtrodden,
two pieces of wood that will always mean so much,
turned into a cross and embraced by His touch.
Embracing
You saw a loving me, you are covering
The wind blew covering.
Ever winding undening
Father you cover me
You cover me with love
You cover me throughout
Up and down.
In and out spiritual realm
Kiss me with your breath of life
Definitioning unfathoming inmessurable envision capturing
favor decisions unwavering convocation lovingly
Embracing

A person's health should never be ignored
A path to wellness needs to be explored
Mind, spirit, and body need to be embraced every day
A balance of diet and exercise show me the way
Opening the door for endorphins to come out to play
Creating waves of happiness that last all-day
Quieting the mind a need to create
A good night's sleep will surely await
Stress and anxiety will be left to float away
Positive thoughts with a purpose here to stay
Remember you have one life you need to control The choice is yours make it your goal
If your heart beats faster when the love of your life and you are apart
You know you were meant to be together right from the start
When the river of love flows freely between you every single day
Your partner is the light that brightens up your world and shows you the way
Life is like a puzzle to be worked on for a long and happy life
Romance should always be center stage, those magic moments so precise
Words should always be chosen carefully and never said in haste
Caring and acts of kindness should never be laid to waste
Love needs to be embraced and never be allowed to fade away
Tell that person how much they mean to you and how your devotion to them is there to stay
When you have decided to spend the rest of your life with that special someone
Facing the world together can certainly be challenging, but be sure to make it a whole lot of fun
Ode for a Fortunate Infant
Newborn:
Smacked and
Screaming —
Hardly more than a new fact,
A statistic
Already forgetting
The crush into Becoming.
This “tabula rasa,”
Kicking and flailing,
Not yet swaddled or cradled,
Held only by Fate
In the first minutes of Destiny
(unformed and waiting)
With a heart
Needing to be embracd
By more than just touch,
But blessed to completely feel
The warmth of Acceptance
That founds a first sense
Of Identity as being a Self
Here linked with Others…
For the first lessons of Love —
Swaddled in belonging
Wrapped with thanksgiving.

Thanks be to God…
Love is in the air ready to be embraced by you
Reach out and take it all in, you know what to do
For it to survive you must hold it close to your heart
Remember how you felt when you and that special person were apart
Love is the greatest gift you can bestow on someone
It costs you nothing and can lead to a whole lot of fun
When you hold that person of your dreams in your arms it produces a euphoric state
Its magic powers make you feel so happy, I am sure you can relate
Love can be shown in so many different and creative ways
You must without fail speak that enduring word every day
Valentine's day should never end, as true love is everywhere
Do everything in your power daily to show how much you care
Soul eyes kiss her with mine heart
My mind set touches her embrace
So do I breathe her breath I touch?
Encased is my love for her such
We are consummated !
Embraced souls in love

In that moment,
when I was you,
and you were me,
two lost stars -
embraced as one,
I realized,
we are meant to be!
~Ayesh
May I kiss you on the palm of your hand
Embrace you your holding body revelant
Encase your mind with the loving stand
Embraced kissed feet
May I walk in your shoes of remembrance
May I take on your pain sharing your forgiveness
My sins stands naked before you encapsulating
Embraced kissed feet
Truth those truths so true I want to Adorn
And Adorn in reference to you
My heart eyes sees
My mouth salivates bleeds
Embraced kissed feet
I am the light in the darkness
As I kiss your feet standing strong and tall
Both in His presence endowed in the Father's Mercy's LOVE
Grace and peace Hallelujah

He had a hardened heart rotten pardon laid down on the floor;
Spirit floating immersed from his soul, hardened to the core embrace me;
His breath left his soul, fighting fleeting fleeing he left and went upward;
Body laid still stiff harding on the floor, embrace me;
~
Soaring flying floating upward in a twinkling of a eye toward the sky;
Distant quickened instantaneous decision embrace me;
Heaven bound Heaven present as he was blessed embraced by the Father's arms I spy;
Now he stood present in the Arms of the Lord envisioned my Jesus the Christ,embrace me;

I write my sins upon my heart
God has forgotten them all I speak the faith
Comes out my mouth Jesus
Sweet Jesus now embraces mine Hallelujah

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2022©
Touched my heart
and it still beating
soft as a flaw I embraced it yet
I felt I was fleeting
while in the embrace
I felt it thickening the posture of my heart
was wavering
inside I Cry am I alive
and am I threatened by the tears
that I drive and in my mind
and in myself righteousness
do I have the sense
to give up the offense
so I realize that I'm alive
I'm yet still embraced in the mess so now
I confess true side my mind I'm not as perfect as I am
thought I was in this quest alone
Now after feeling my heartbeats I now know
I am not alone

Living Truth
Ancient guides of venerated truth
Stumble through numb spiritual graveyards
Where truth casts its shadow in chiseled words,
A signature of affection,
On moss bathed alabaster stones that once
Gleamed in treasures of veracity,
Autographed insights of the ancient sages
Screams out the litany of wisdom
Then begs, like balm, the insomniac unconscious heart
To intone a resurrection,
A living trove of living verbs in action
Breaking from the bondage of a chrysalis redecorated
With raw promises to shake off stagnation,
Relight the lantern star of the eternal spring’s veracity
Springing into actions that rise from stone inertia
Insight’s revelation releases a new song of songs
Truth that lives anew –
That propels the quest of new a-ha’s
That plants new reasons for renewed actions
In the waiting heart embraced.

The lonely shadow let go of its hand
to let life feel the caress of the morn;
as the clock’s arms ticked in rhythm’s command.
The daybreak’s light hugged the scent not forlorn
and the zephyr’s fragrance when it was born;
The romance so soft and sweet to the ear
was felt by the earth in gladness and cheer.
"Ever so tight he held her
during the night fearful
and in tears so she said
yet she feared
nightmares
encased her spiritual sight
he loved the love of her
he was just too close
he almost worshiped her
so he loosened up his embrace
and just got up and walked away
he left her with a kiss"
