You know them when you see them... or rather... you know them when you feel their presence arrive. You will almost always sense one before you see it. And if you do happen upon lady luck in a good mood on that night...
Seize the chance! BUT!dontmovetoquicklynortooloudly,
The phenomenon that you would create would attract their gaze before they even gripped the doorknob. Now this isnt to say you will be their victim on this, or any other night, theres always some greater fool. Some fool who can not pierce beyond the veil of darkness they wait in. Always remember; easy prey is easy prey, especially when the target is meaningless. And a harbinger that arrives alone rarely leaves empty handed. So if you are one of the ones lucky, or maybe, unlucky ones. Who hasnt met one yet, ill leave you with this. A friend of mine saw one once, close enough to feel its gaze, but he ran. And that night he told me the message the harbinger carried...

When Mr negativity comes and you open the door,
you find his friends along with him occupying your mind.
Mr. Negative, Mr.Despair, Mr Despondency all are thieves
They steal happiness and peace and make you a pauper,
You feel like dying
Always make lady Hope your best friend
she will bring her friends Positivity and Peace along with her
Create an armour in your mind which Mr negative cannot penetrate
You will lead a blissful life.
Lady hope is around us always, easy to spot
Morning Sun brings rays of hope throughout the day
Moon and stars scatters silver streams of hope at night
Ever flowing breeze conveys God's presence and love, caressess us with hope
Rains pour clean water, drenches earth with hope
Ever flowing rivers of hope nourish surrounds
Umpteen seeds within each fruits, pollens in each flower scatter hope everywhere
Forest flourish on their own, breathing out hope every second
Plants emerge from tiled, concrete grounds, their smile says be hopeful
When you look around and you will spot lady Hope everywhere
She conveys the message - Be hopeful! God is there and takes cares.
With the incoming sounds of spring, a resurrection of life,
the chilliness flees. Quote _ by Poet
Ready for a new season, Spring birds
Shake off winter; embracing
The bonniest warmness weather,
Babies born, and color of nature's crowns.
Scarlet Tanagers chatter, flying round,
Feasting on caterpillar's slowness
And beetles boring away that are found;
whilst
Eternal sunlight reft through sturdy limbs
And myriad leaves of the mighty old oak;
Rapid rhythm clatter drum sounds
Of the Woodpecker on its breast shout.
A hum, a garden faintly woo a smile
At song sung by pretty red feather Robin dancing.
A sweet kiss, a seed, the male Cardinal
Feeds his blush pretty mate favor.
Yonder pond, tree boughs
Teasing the water's edge
Whilst
Little Mallard ducklings
Follow mamma to the bank.
Bluebird builds her nest
Right in the heart of the sprouting
Redbud flowering tree.
Camouflage in the red begonia
An orange breasted Oriole
With its sweet enchanting sound.
On the horizon the fire fades out,
Hush around in high perch, tiny roosting
Cold blue moon comes into sight.
cold curfew lifted
eager wings spread, feathers plumed...
sweet song susurrates
tweeting awareness
of burgeoning beginning...

Misconstrued actions replayed,
Misinterpreted words sung,
Unspoken hatred nurtured,
Anarchy is inevitable.

The season the tillers earnestly await,
The thirsty and parched celebrate,
The dead are awakened,
The weak are strengthened,
An envelope of life and beauty permeate.

Strong stormy gray times
foggy sky of full drenched clouds
harbinger of floods
Cast by a shadow
So dark and fierce
As the cavern below
Pulling its course rapidly
Of spirit vent to infinity
Calling its echo infinite
The hollow to its serenity
Pulling its course rapidly
When cast to surrender
It follows in treble hold
sacrosanct to engender
Pulling its course rapidly
What heavens forbid
Yet it holds tightly its grip
In graves morbid
Pulling its course rapidly

Musing on this life of mine
Alone I wonder if it's time?
Robin sings in my heart
Fluttering wings like cupid's dart.
Have been hurt, no doubt caused pain
Hearing robin's song again
Before I journey who knows where?
Know angelic wings will take me there.
The time has come and gone again
I'm stoic now what's left to gain
The universe will keep me here
Perhaps a day, perhaps a year.
A harbinger called to seal my fate
My gentle songbird set no date
Listen carefully you might hear
Angelic music have no fear.
Can I help but the stop look,
Harbinger
Provincial harold
Almighty
Welcome remember beyond belief morn
Microscopic shuffled shun scorn

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2020
Comes the fall of the empire
Panic spreads spreads like wildfire
Liberty blushes
No Moses in the rushes
Silence is the hymn of the choir
Amaryllis apple blossoms start to bloom.
Bumblebees buzz and butterflies float about.
Fruits of renewal are ripe for the picking.
Harbinger of spring
Date written: 02/14/2020
Deceit o’ bloodred,
Languish droplets bled
Elements purge forlorn
Happily e’er after battle-torn
Cruel lips kiss adieu,
Loathsome toxin askew
Slumber still mercy mine
Ador bore thou decline
Tangled web of lies,
Depths of loveless eyes
Pierced by devious dart,
Enfeeble, tis terse impart
Remiss of presence so
Willful heart nary let go.
Welcome harbinger grim,
Laid broken, weakened dim.
Come hither sweet respite
To thy favor, I so submit.
Love’s demise hardens regret,
Behests reminisce lest I forget.
Vibrant Blue bird, on weary wings – regales us all when it sings
Steaming calves, on wobbly legs – for mother’s milk their nudge begs
Buds fringed in green, on barren stem – we anticipate spring with each of them
