GRrrr.
Noisy Drama.
Read It's Intents.
Its Intensity...
It WAS
Made 'How You
WISH.
Wee Wishy-Washy...
Nahhhhhh.

Every dog I’ve ever known
Is an individual.
So does that mean they have a soul?
I think so.
Which means they are equal to us
As soul beings
With soul intents, and soul paths.
Now that I think of it,
I think many dogs have more soul
Than most humans.
(7/6/26)
Wayward, philosopher
gathering intents
through the whispers
and the whales,
the valleys and the hills
unstoppable.
Yes His dreams
Highest altitude
universal consciousness
wayward philosopher.

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2026
Today I wish to discuss the discus
first flung in faraway Greco track and field events
as is it has no use whatsoever
yet serves its purpose to all intents
as an oblate spheroid weight
and altho' as you may know
a javelin one would hurl
a discus you should throw
Throat parched, yearned for water,
Tongue stuck to His dry mouth;
Thirsty to do God's will,
The Lord died on the cross,
Thwarting devil's intents
To hinder salvation;
That day, He pined, for me.
standing erect as a funnel of light
the world of forms whirls around our presence
lucid dream beheld by spherical sight
viewed nonchalantly by omnipresence
thus our eye single in life pulse dual
is the motionless substratum of life
all that moves employs love as the fuel
to throb in vibrance and to feel bliss rife
we as Self dwell in the cave of our heart
being that wherefrom all intents arise
with each breath feeling bliss ignition start
we behold in delight offered surprise
dipping in and out of love’s vibration ~
we are poised in the void of cessation
Of night the birdentane the sound
with an untamed voice
an echo of sungstrung things
a vision without a voice
charm me to wish you mine
that others want me to
that she might tell me things
that I might hear
only to make me fool
misguided and unrecognized
might her masked intents
cause a foolish people to
divide
it's neither wise or real
to understand
when she's scripted everything
unawnsered questions causes
one to simply walk away
but I'm blessed with the trust
and am husbandized as she
is wife to me
strum the harps that misstrals
sing and make it diffcult for me
some wish to narrate and be the
cause of our demise
they wear disguise themselves as our freinds
and coulld look you right in your eyes
deceitful and agendaed they cause
stress
tween she and me
and like lonley fools
we take them back might they resatan us
again
Ægte og rigtige kærlighed
Heart
intents
that love flows
in the veins and
soul absorbs all pain
shadows of past dislimn
ushering to a future
of innocent naiveté
where the infinite horizons meet
as the circle of life and death completes
Placed fifth

Selfish aims in kindness-guise… I dare to confront
As my soul welcomes challenges with hope
Triumphantly while thankful spirit does cope
Surmounting trials of grievous affront.
Targets midst secret deals… I strive to check
As my heart submits to divine truth’s worth
Exposing transgressions against fake mirth
Repenting for pardon that conquers wreck.
Carnal goals with their deceit… I ought to face
As my mind is illumined by God’s light
With assured vision for heavenly flight
Toward courage to walk tall, blest with grace.
Motives reflecting shame… I need to see
As my faith learns to perceive genuine glow
Against hypocrisy, pride of false show
Living in wondrous love with freedom glee.
Intents lurking as ghosts… I must not fear
As my Lord assures His presence of peace*
Governed by great wisdom that cannot cease
Securing me while others gladly cheer.
*Philippians 4:7 - And the peace of God, which passeth all understanding, shall keep your hearts and minds through Christ Jesus.

God made my bed this morning
Of course, I made my bed, but God planned according
God ordains all things, (good or bad, all things)
Yes, even the Drill Sergeant’s inspection to see if my bed springs
(All y’all will know what that means, if you know what I mean)
Does that mean God is evil?
No, He predestines all things and figures in our free will
That’s right, God predestines our free choices
(even when the duvet is not quite poi-fect)
God made my breakfast this morning
Of course I made my own, He provided all things, conforming
He provides all things up to and while, and the continuing
(He sees the seeing and knows the knowing, the end, and the beginning)
So, whatever you do, do unto the Lord
Because He’s in control, so be onboard
As in Pacto Arco Iris, so it is in all God’s covenants
As our God is moving by thwarting Satan’s intents
So, as you go about your day
Have comfort knowing God has planned the way
Even your free choices fit into His plan
For every child and women and every man
Praise the King of saints
Precise words, sublime theme, expressive language and usinG
Outstanding imagery with seamless flow unveil a stupendous sculpturE
Experts have generated vivid features and added their laudable contributioN
The intents, appreciation and enjoyment, elevate the senses of readeR
Ranging from top to bottom, all the sensible peoplE
Yearn to read fabulous poetry and ease their soulS

New York times and Washington post, better watch
The reports in the columns you host, keep within any

The big-house, who'll treat as serious any old joke'
Don't be tilting at thir windmills, or landing any clouts'
Being negative on e v's like 'just asking about? How
They go real dead in winter, blow a fuse in deeper floods'
Keep burning on' though fire brigade extinguishers run out
How their weight causes pot-holes how they belt hard other
Cars, that they're becoming liabiltys in the world
And here; both near and far.! Far be it from you to truth tell
Just remain within the lies..Keep on massaging those figures.'
All those 'old lockdown blighs' cause you really don't matter
Or your families and friends, you bury the corpses and
Press freedom.' even the intents.' You'll be part of the problem'
And you'll pay so very dear, when they draw up all the rules
Then you'll know.. 'you once; were free' free to save many
People and countries..The many lands you have sold out..You'll
Be colouring the pavements, fir there your talent you will tout.'

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2023©
We should pray, I have been praying more.'
I am maybe..Or was maybe not a strong
Prayer.' Yet I am becoming more aware of
Its major position in the setting of faith.'
I have been warching for instance the family
Of 'Rev Tom Horn' i don't know of his particular
Conviction in Chritianity.? Yet if he is saved.?
Which to all intents he is, the prayers appear
Superflous..' Yet in our human frailty we pray.'
As I have indeed bowed my head with his
Family, and prayed moved by the devotion i
See, So this highlights more the need to pray in
To unresolved situations of life in general if
I look back 30 40 50 years ago, the Christian
Nations Would have been called to prayer on
Occasions of tradgedy disease war threats.'
I can't speak for other religions.' I address that
Which I know most of.' So we see a different
World.' A supposedly more inclusive world.?
However what are the 'inclusions? And do they
Cause strength? I note in diamonds they are
Not. Desired' what of us.?
