The Human Experience is beyond difficult,
Of the utmost difficulty.
Connect or be doomed to isolation, which is of benefit but never permanent.
Experience vulnerability or live in coldness and hardened spirit, both with happen.
We have no choice in nor can escape from participating in community.
There is no community without variables and under layers.
Factors, angles or fractions of each other, mirrored but in no way the same.
Small pieces gliding, overlapping, gravitation away then returning.
An endless loop of beautifully terrible divine fabrics, of time and space, weaving, ripping apart and reuniting.
The lenses shift from rose to apocalyptic, the human physical plane a combination of...
But with Hope as the driver,
We yearn for a balanced vision through sight.
How can we conceal the idea of being a powerful race
When the identity of our ancestors is right in our face?
We need to look in the mirror and see who we are;
The reflection that stares back shouldn't leave you scared.
It should open your consciousness and energize your mind
To a point of gravitation with endless time.
To teach our young generation to have knowledge, not fear,
To not be bound by the shackles for another thousand years.
Let's deliver the message that we have enclosed;
Let's stop having these meetings behind closed doors.
Let's get out and be seen, send a powerful message;
Let's teach the word to give hope and blessings.
So don't sit back and listen with a stone foot in place,
Let's unite in unity to stare back face to face.

From the first heartbeat to the very last
From the first cry to the last gasp
Life and time rise and then fall
The hands on the external clock never pausing
As the legs of the day keep moving
From dashing sunrises to dashing sunsets
To the everlasting stars and moons in the sky
To the gravitation pull of the tides
Life keeps marching on
Orchestrated like and infinite
To the rhythm of the seasons
To the spins of the earth
Time never sits
Time never sits for anyone
Even when we're gone
As the sands of time
Funnel through our hourglass
Methodically, esoteric, and destined
Each pebble is a milestone in our lives
Each pebble adds purpose to our internal clocks
These heaps of pebbles lead us up the hill and down
From the first baby steps, childhood to adulthood
And to the lifetime of discoveries
From baby blues to aging greys
These stepping stones mark time
And our existence though short-lived
Where our internal clocks naturally yield in the end
As light begets darkness
And only then does the time sit inside our window
Outside nature continues its course
On powdered crystal wings Heaven descends to humbled Earth
Sparkling glimpses of jewelled treasures to some elegant worth
Pure, immaculate white no matter the depth to coming twilight
Billowing through myriads of veils, all fingerprints in first flight
She now dares to fall where she must, from dream in flutter
Dancing delicately...Swirling...Twirling into suddenly crisp hover
Shifted...Swayed...She enthralls my leaping, dizzying fascination
Like no other before, I marvel as she defies hurling gravitation
Intricate kaleidoscope of spirals linked and apart
Glittering feather like you float to repose my heart
Scintillating fragile, beauteous rays, my Dear always
Imparting uniqueness my touch never in time betrays
APPLE PICKING
Orchards mostly chilly- dewy.
Needs extra layer of warmth.
Rows may be dusty and muddy.
Wearing covered boots, step on path.
Picking apples ! Brain health precise
and psychological well-being.
Fun form of outdoor exercise.
Good habit of apple picking.
Apple is symbol of wisdom,
prosperity and temptation
since era of Eve and Adam.
Picking apples ! Great attraction.
Haply an apple fell from tree.
Scientist Newton picked and thought,
It didn't fly or stand but fell free.
' Law of Gravitation ' was caught.
Choose to pick up apples perfect:
It's a process to take sample.
Sometimes going free to collect
Always great gain, picking apples.
Apple to pick or pluck or buy.
Even preserved, does not decay.
On daily diet, you must try.
Eat apple ! Keep Doctor away.
a point is balanced by its empty space
contraction is balanced by expansion
gravitation balances space
mass balances energy
change balances continuity
irrationality balances 'pi-e-phi' numerical continuities
a numerical existence balances the mental illusion of 'change as time'
mass contraction balances energy expansion as/of a bubble of time
a slow burning candle flame balances wax consumption with energy loss
understanding is a balance between input and output
irrational time perceptions are balanced as/by continuities in/of mind
a large bubble is balanced by the number of small bubbles it becomes
no two things in existence are equally balanced space-times
a lifetime is a time bubble balance in a temporary space-time environ
a lifetime is but the balancing of a candle flame with its space-time
find a slowed life time bubble-balance continuity in an irrational lifetime

You are God’s rarest creation!
The way you show kindness in any situation,
Rembrandt could use your beauty as his inspiration,
Men are at your disposal they faint with adoration
A smile that blooms with admiration,
A beauty so rare it only comes once a generation,
You are an “ANGEL” I put that in quotation,
I write this for all this is my declaration,
You are ~FLAWLESS~ and I end this not in a period but punctuation,
Those are my thoughts of you my heart translation
Your beauty was created by God he uses the rainbow as a citation
To make you always smile and forever is my aspiration
Your life is a testimony to Christianity the angels give you a standing ovation
Your heart is so light that it defies the laws of gravitation
The day you heard Jesus name your life became consecration
Your true beauty is that Jesus is your rock and foundation
These are not just words your merits is your demonstration
Humbleness, Sweetness, and Loveliness is your reputation
I could go on and on without no reservation
God rewarded you with your own constellation
In this Journey of life, heaven is your destination
You are the definition….of God’s rarest creation
Legend goes on discovery of
Universal Law of Gravitation
as an apple from tree just fell off
on ground, watched by Sir Isaac Newton.
He considered ripen apple
as experimental sample.
Free fall of fruit made him curious.
Scientist started thinking serious.
On detachment from stalk aftermath
the apple neither hangs in air
nor goes up under wind’s care,
but is bound to fall on Earth.
Great Gravitational force is responsible.
To escape attraction of Earth is impossible
for all earthly materials.
Gravity claims credentials.
The Mathematician and Physicist Sir Isaac Newton discovered Theory of
Gravity. Gravitational Force acts between all pairs of bodies. He formulated
the Inverse Square Law of Universal Gravitation in 1687.

The whole wide world is one giant clock a face of illuminate loveliness,
the dial is a shadow forever nonchalant, passing through each day
invisibly each night, the human race sleeps discerns, tick tock, tick tock,
oh the pulse, oh the vibration, oh that spring coil of gravitation,
careful not to over wind it, as the celestial key turns, tick tock, tick tock
the whole wide world is one giant clock, a face of illuminate loveliness.
This wholesome world is a ball of fire, we are the salt of the earth
mile after mile we trudge towards existence though nothing can allay
the cravings of the soul better than life itself, tick tock, tick tock.
Providence takes us by the hand so there is no need to apprehend,
catch and release the wind it’s all about push n' pull, tick tock, tick tock
the entire world is one giant clock, illuminated by the handles of time.
Tick tock, tick tock, don't blow it this time. xo xo

The whole wide world
a giant clock
a face of illuminate loveliness,
the dial a shadow,
forever nonchalant
passing through each day
invisibly each night.
The human race,
the tick and the tock
the pulse the vibration,
the spring coil of gravitation,
with a need not to over wind
the celestial key.

after the brightest light
I'm drowning in dark
with inside lantern
moonless night
density of dark graves me
with some pleased feelings
black clouds make flight
east to west, north to south pole
wrapping the hearts with love
soul converges to soul
with natural gravitation
opening the harem of chest
forgetting all I keep
the soul side by side
merge the bodies as one
outside of the souls
observe the mundane unity

When we see stars shining
Dazzling the skies at night
Sparkling like diamonds
A truly magnificent sight
It must be a gift from God
For all Humanity
Every night there in the skies
For everyone to see
How did they get there
Up above so high
How is a star born?
Does it ever die?
It is like most births
Difficult to explain
I will try to unearth
More information to make it plain
Heat, Mass, Gas, Dust and Cloud
Held together by gravitation
It is a star system
Called a Constellation
Stars have a core the same as us
We are made of the same Star Dust
I won't go into detail on what makes stars shine
I am deLIGHTED I am part of their design
I have enjoyed writing this simple ditty
It makes me feel aGLOW and very pretty
I hope you have found this Information complete
Would you like to come with me to listen to
A STAR'S HEARTBEAT
sadness, my love
Don't weep for me,
your feelings lost in life's constant toll;
I am not the one you wanted me to be,
don't weep for me;
I am only your love.
Sudden flash, passing;
by a fire underneath,
been struck by lightning;
flesh burning desire;
emotions higher, hearts brighter on fire;
emotional gravitation letting me down;
kindled with sadness now my love

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2020©
her moon repletes
hidden with the seven veils
in secret places
foreshadowing
sultry shimmers of flame
of life
budding over
in arms of magnolia
balanced
and naked
where the crow had come to rest
renewed she pulls with force
resolved
magical moments of gravitation
resplendent
eyed
a blush of blue
bent to will
and to want
