ANGELS “
VOICES FROM SOMEWHERE I’VE NEVER HEARD BEFORE
SMOOTH FLOWING HARMONY MAKES ME WANT FOR MORE
IT MUST BE ANGELS SINGING FROM ABOVE
WORDS SWEET AS HONEY SOUNDING JUST LIKE LOVE
No one is home.
The address is returned to sender.
The user you desire to speak is no longer available.

Ferment in the waiting room of life.
The catacombs of the mind are empty.
From the grave they will not rise.
The life you once knew is now fleeted.
You're out of time.
Exhale. Inhale. Exhale again.
False memory is not gospel.
Queue the piano, and bring in some coffee to go.
Crack a smile.
Adjust your tie.
Goodbye.

Being in love is a powerful mix
of euphoria, deep safety,
and vulnerability
magnetic pull toward
another person—
a mix of exhilarating nervous
energy and profound comfort
often depict this feeling
through specific emotional
and physical sensations.
Love a copassing empolophment
a woggotintal of tibbifflousitic yearning
a pleasant familiarity
comforting tommorrownistic claim of
having belonging
and a since of pride for which
others might envy
our coupling has bought others
to change the way they speak
to us and about us
our togetherness is now
our togetherness is stored
away for future use
it is remade for timely desire
that it's timely need is restoration
in times of certainty and uncertainty
love is now and forever
the expectation of being with
and the expectation of being apart
might such longing restore the need of
our togetherness.

Peace Be with you , Peace i give to everyone.
I give heartfelt wishes that the world treats you well.
Peace be in your heart and may it stay.
Let peace be where you can be with one's self.
Peacefully at bliss , let tranquilit be yours.
Shut the curtains and lock the door.
Take a deep breath in, take the world off your shoulders and let healing begin.
Peace is calmness,happiness and harmony,
so relaxe a while let your body unwind .
Feel on cloud nine , leave stress and worry behind.
Imagine a world of peace and harmony,
No distruction , wars, conflicts or Hate.
Nations united for the greater good
What a beautiful vison and state tjat would be.Peace be with you and Peace i give.
I gaze up at night.
A million stars look back at me.
I am profoundly at peace.

Whispers of Nature’s Soul
Respect the hush of morning dew,
Soft light dancing on blades anew.
Gratitude hums in songbird’s flight,
A harmony woven through soft light.
Truth flows like rivers carving stone,
Silent, steady, forever known.
Honor stands like ancient trees,
Rooted deep with quiet ease.
Incredulity clouds the sky,
Yet wild winds teach us to fly.
Leaves whisper secrets as they fall,
Nature’s truths speak clear to all.
Respect the frost on trembling grass,
Gratitude in shadows cast.
Truth is found in open skies,
Honor gleams in eagle’s eyes.
Incredulity fades to dawn,
When night surrenders, light is drawn.
Nature’s voice is soft and clear,
A vow of love we hold dear.
Norman Van Etten
S oothing harmonious emerald waves lapping on the shore turn
E ntire universe seem magnanimous and serene.
R etiring from chaos surrounds me with a calmness which
E very shell in the amber sand brings to the troubled mind,
N oiseless stillness hush enveloping existence...inner peace
I want to achieve, echo from a hollow conch deliver
T ranquility of mind and soul,
Y earning for Nirvana !
A dragon lived high on a hill
Drinking his greatest skill
Not dreaming of raiding
Or eating young maidens
He would rather lay back and chill.
There once was a burly young knight
Sent out for a dragon to fight
Thought killing was cruel
He would rather duel
He hoped the dragons had left in the night
On coming upon the drinking dragon
He happily accepted a flagon
He lay down his sword
A drink was poured
They were last seen in an old wagon
Twilights in my kitchen without me even wishing.
Dusk dances thru the house, twirls and swirls about.
Soft as any pillow, colors filter in.
They grace every window, smiling now and then.
It gives me pause to say exactly why
my home feels the cause of both earth and sky.
It is never easy to explain jubilant bliss,
but my own attempt would read like this:
It is the color of harmony from loving my life,
from joy in all I see, that brings this mood to me.
Like a soft breeze teasing your skin, it is the
freedom from not missing what has already been.
It is comfort without reaching, security before needing.
It is people hugging and holding, hearts tugging and molding.
It is the presence of family even when in different rooms,
and knowing your loved ones are both your sun and moon.
Conjugal variate simplex kerosen;
Microscopic septic verizon;
How can this the dancing be;
When this person has no feet,
nor harmony.

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2026
Harmony is a quiet moment.
I close my eyes finding my haven.
Peace is always within reach.

“A New Now”
A new Now is my desire.
A good Now would suit me fine
For this Now is not the Now I need.
Now let me be brief.
I’ll say it Now.
Mind your manners---
Or I’ll be gone.
The Now that’s Now
Isn't the Now I crave,
For this Now is ugly and unkind,
Full of hate, anger, and fear.
What I desire is a more quiet Now,
Full of love, peace, and harmony.
The kind our mothers spoke of
When we were young.
The Now, when mothers held us close,
Whispered sweetly in our ears,
Wrapped us up in linens,
And fed us from their breasts.
A Now that cares,
One that loves,
One that gives,
One that’s kind.
That Now would suit me fine.
When this Now is over
May its day be gone forever
Buried alive in the dustbowl of time
Now, allow me to be frank,
Banish this Now, Now!
No need to contemplate
A better Now awaits,
Much better than this cursed Now.
Rise up, Rise up, without delay.
A new dawn waits.
4/2/2026 My word for today
Roses, subdued lights and a little wine...
It's harmony when our hearts align.

And finally, of Peacefulness we sing,
The gentle solace that its presence brings.
From Latin pax, a pact, a bond, a vow,
A harmony that lives and breathes right now.
It is the end of conflict, war, and fear,
A world where every voice is held so dear.
In Hebrew tongue, it is the word Shalom,
A sense of wholeness, of a spirit home.
It is not just the absence of a fight,
But a deep well-being, bathed in holy light.
Peacefulness is justice, truth, and grace,
Reflected in a kind and open face.
It is the blessing that the angels gave,
A gift of love, this side of the grave.
Whether your skin is brown, yellow, black or white
You are not better than others and you have no right
To abuse those who do not look like you
But respect them and their culture too
To stop racism, anger, violence and hatred
We are all equal, we all bleed red
Whatever our colour, whatever our race
We are all beautiful in our own grace
If we could believe that it is easier to love and harder to hate
We could live in oneness with others and be each other’s mate
First loving ourselves, accepting who we are we become tolerant accepting others too
Curiosity leads to understanding, how people from different cultures live and what they do
Unity in diversity creates harmony and peace
Living together peacefully is enriching and make us feel at ease
