neither seeking nor striving, free from strain
deep peace pervades form, bliss is heart’s refrain
poised in the now, we let God’s grace endow
mood and mode acceptant, we wear no chain
poised in the void, our mind no longer strays
focus on bliss beats is how our soul prays
to the will of God we cheerfully bow
we’re the urn in which kundalini plays
Time, once taunted, laughed at
Limits, street-lit, leapt of
Whose own, this one, as to it
Now, in a stoop, does bow.
Heathen child, in swoon of life
In the moment's worship!
Creaking more conscious of whom
Vengeful symptoms endow.
People called me timid
Because I go slowly
Moving step by step
According to the
Rhythms of nature
Because I believe in
The law of balance.
I do my best then relax
I don't try to force things
I always go easy on me
Zechariah 4:6, not by might,
Nor by power, but by thy spirit
Aggression births digression
Digression hinders progression.
Clarity yields results
Self hostility hinder prosperity
You're your own resolution
Endow yourself with worth
Not desperation for results
Be determined with the process
Time is the ultimate guide
Do it according to your pace.
When you're on a flight
You automatically go
Airplane mode
Only those on the same flight
Can connect with you
You automatically disconnect
From those that can't take the flight.
Life has phases
Different dimensions
What you're open to
Opens doors for you
A closed mind
Limits your version
What you're seeking
Is seeking you.
The people you associate with
Determines your end point
No wonder the Bible says;
Show me your friends
And I will tell you
Who you are
For you to be great
You don't have to endow mediocre.
As shakes it, forebodingly
To beat what has ceased
As one heart, fraternally
With war near, world now
Only for them is full of
Bright omens the sky.
Its future hope, God's pure love
Hand in hand endow.

Of all the songs of seraph that endow
Timely blooms and shreds of Willow bough
Tangled and untangled the gilded strings of fall
And serenest sky up so high I heard a call-
Who? Helene blooms by the distant;
Rosemary
O' your crevice and blinks ruddy as berry
Your wanton tress and the light of dress
Bright and lucent the nightertale seems to caress
More fair and fairer that in amidst night of sky
While oft I stared you,my blind soul soar up so high
Twinkle,twinkle the jewellery of boundless æther
And orbed blossoms of heather,I see you slither
The theft of mine poor heart in busy hour
While of I was sniffing round your wallflower
Be lighter and be gentler to my weary heart
Thro' far and far you linger in this vapid art
Sprinkled from afar your's ray in earthly crust
Dwelt in gemmy nelumbo in midst of verdure,August
Part and impart your loveliness in dropping drips
Ah! winds it an aught from your carmine lips
Napping and wrapping beneath your shadow
So there the face of heaven; the firmamant meadow
Is now my faulty heart athrobs to revel with you
In chilly hour and lolling flower; sipping a wintry brew
Somewhere in warm worthy smiles lovers sigh
From supple glows contentment of twilight
Where love drinks ambrosia with evening sky
And misty eyes of love wash in splayed light
Endow a moment's pause in secret dreams
When fingertips softly embrace the face
On temperate skin warmed by sunset beams
To scribe words, I love you in gentle trace
To kiss lips with a lover's sweet perfume
And hold desire fervent, to always feel
To lie in breathless realms where love will bloom
Find the bonding beauty, it will reveal
The fragrant scent of trust in love is calm
In the wonders held in a lover's palm
You can't make a living
If you're not giving
The services you render
Tenders you money
You won't make a dime
If you're idle all the time.
To be somebody
You must do something
To be nobody
Just do nothing
You can't make sweetener
With lime or bitter leaf.
Knowledge is infinite
But limited to those
That does not seek it
You can't picture
What you don't face
You can't be a public figure
Without impact.
I endow book smart
And street wise
For life is two sides
Up and down, good and bad
Day and night, sun and Moon
Mother and father, son and daughter
Life can give you anything, when it's it time.
Before creative impulse arises,
poised in time stretched peace of stillness sedate,
tidings carried by God’s will apprises
our presence to embrace its destined fate.
Living in the now, we simply allow,
the rising and subsiding of life’s tides,
trusting divine magnetism to endow
our form with bliss as in the void it glides.
Knowing all is one vaporises will,
that flowing with ease like the wafting breeze,
sipping soma nectar to our heart’s fill,
no demons remain for us to appease.
Having left erst fears and desires behind,
with ego exhumed, no fetters now bind.
This beauty, unlike any of her time,
A wonder unmatched, sovereign and rare;
Remarkable, unique in form sublime,
Too vast for mortal souls to yet compare.
Perfectly poisonous to hearts unarmed,
She snares the ill-prepared with silent grace;
Yet by her presence is my spirit charmed,
Renewed the moment I behold her face.
So moved am I by all she doth endow
That reverence stirs where trembling vows allow. Thus, in her light, I dare to greet her now- And offer her my most devoted bow.
Mind crystallises our intent as thought
and then we ask, to whom do these thoughts come,
that in silence thus becoming self-taught,
our focus is fixed on the cosmic hum,
heart delighting as bliss beats within strum.
The thought of bondage pertains to ego
but once the truth of Self we get to know,
questions cease since we become the answer,
grateful for boons of grace God does endow,
aura aflame like a cosmic dancer.
~JOYOUS LOVE
Father, Father, Father
endow unto me
Grant me thy favor
so that I may jubilee
joyous love
from above
Father God rain down
on and unto me
Joyously we receive
Abundant grace, favor
Great is the Kingdom
My Father has a room for me
For I return unto Him rebirth
and blessed
Joyous love
from above
I receive from my Father above
Joyous love
8/5/25
Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2025©
intermediate truths will do for now
involving dissolution of ego
staid stillness reveals what mind cannot know
by direct touch, God wisdom does endow
kundalini rises if we allow
whence sailing in the boat which God does row
spirit repays debts of love which we owe
clear sight’s bestowed when to His will we bow
ego vaporises yet we remain
we as living light dissolve in God’s heart
both immanent as also transcendent
we see soul’s journey has not been in vain
as pure awareness, we add love to cart
living light eternal, bliss resplendent
