O, noble eagle, spread your vast wings
fly high over peaks gleaming with snow
Wherever you go, I'll follow you to
the very ends of the earth, you know...
Just one place that an eagle cannot ascend to below
to houses of prayer ~ where only modesty goes
F-rom the ends of the earth,
E-agle is sent by the Creator;
L-ord God's righteous hand
I-n these last days is
X factor.
M-aking his presence felt,
A-lmighty's messenger soars high;
N-o precious time is wasted,
A-s he spreads his wings to fly.
L-essons of faith, hope, and love, he teaches with great worth;
O-ne true Church he preaches, from the ends of the earth.
Topic: 57th death anniversary of Bro. Felix Y. Manalo (April 12,2020)
Loose ends of 'escape-path' threads intertwine
into a monkey fist knot,
gathered up by Earth's sphere.
For a circle has neither start nor end.
All paths taken to dead ends
go on to somewhere else.
At every 'End-of-the-Earth' lies a sign,
beside a turning circle -
No Standing Here, Ever!
I penned a thousand lullabies 'bout you
Yet your lashes closed, tender
To the ends of those songs ...
You whispered sacred secrets to my name
Tied bright bows of dalliance
To the ends of each breath ...
Deep in your eyes my wand'ring soul resides
For I followed them homeward
To the ends of the earth.

my love for him is a rainbow arching
from my youth throughout decades
gleaming with my fondness
his angel face is the sun behind me
such brightness I can’t forget
while before me – rain falls
to feel again the colors of his soul
that beamed from his smile, I’d go
to the ends of the earth

To the Ends of the Earth
Like a glossy starling flying away
Lost in a group of chaos
Always knowing the path.

To the Ends of the Earth
Edward Ibeh
As my spirit leaves my side it so flies,
my witness doth so lies, where;
To the ends of the earth;

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2019©
Such little time has passed where once was just
a dream; I lived to love you
beneath labyrinths sky
Sleepless nights, clutching to memories as
they slowly fade echoing
through deprive lace fingers
And I would go, to the ends of the earth
to be close and in your arms
feeling gracious heaven

R-eaching the very end
O-f the earth no one knows;
W-orld's last day draws near,
E-ven though time comes and goes.
L-et the ends of the earth explain the many a sign;
L-ord Jesus Christ will return not on November nine.
M-ay you find the precious moment
O-n the hour of your birth;
R-ight path has just begun
F-rom the ends of the
E-arth.
White snow, great peaks, world's edge lies.
Gray sky, thick ice, ghost's breath flies.
Gold light, soft bed, where is home?
Blank field, tall clouds, bird's beak cries.
Written for Newman Young Writer's Award 2017
Don't travel to see the world, travel to see yourself.
Ends of the Earth- Lord Huron
Pink Roses of Sharon
hugging the streetlamp
The blue sky with
sand texturred clouds
is like a reflection
of water and the beach
An oasis of green grass...
with pink, orange, red and yellow
Mums floating like waterlilies
in the green water...
Birds stop and fly
land and fly
staying close to earth
to forage for food
Green leaves that turned
yellow - then turned gold
Like a door
The Gates of Heaven
await the winter
when all leaves
and blossoms die
When nature shows
our true colors...
If we blossom eternally
or sear in hell
All shining like a mirror
to the almighty...
