Have always known my limitations
it's a fact that can't be missed
I'll always go out on a limb
and you're an attraction I can't resist
am I being reckless to gamble on such a crazy game
am I overconfident and like a moth to a flame
will I melt my wings
these and a thousand other things
will I crash and burn will I ever learn
always had my uncertainties
if I speak my mind to you
there's a danger in the air
you'll take and break my poor heart in two
am I flying too close
when the day is done
if I say, "I'm in love with you,"
am I flying too close to the sun?
Sun Ascends
Sun ascends into breezy
Pillows of feathery love.
The earth breathes deeply
While I float effortlessly
Though sleepiness
And blessings bestowed
By the loving intent
Of my soul.
Summer is eternal
If you allow her to be.
Winter is real
Only if you leave
The door open
To emptiness
And confusion.
It was never the sun
Who ascended
But the ascension
Of my soul
Beyond limited thinking
And beyond self imposed
Barriers of limitation
And lack.
As I give up lack
And accept Light,
I have become
Light
That is eternal.

Confined potential.
Reinforced by “they”.
We dream endlessly,
And inside clocks.
Like God whispered infinity into a loop.
Malleable futures
Mandated into walls and calendars.
Gear is stuck in reverse.
And it beeps when I put it in drive.
Soft socks
And quiet footsteps—
I float past the plagiarism
To find the hook with diamond bait,
The fish with golden gills.
A treasure untouched.
"I have never seen a greater monster or miracle in the world than myself."
Ego.
It is this that makes or breaks a man.
Ego, much like the "dagger of the mind", pushes man to do things, it thought impossible.
It has been the blade on which many a man has died;
And it has been the step on which many men have reached the summit of their being.
It was Hitler's ego that pushed him to the brink of achieving Nazi dominantion,
It was Hitler's ego that pushed him to initiate Operation Barbarossa.
It was Hitler's ego that caused his rise,
It was Hitler's ego that caused his demise.
It is a double edged blade where both sides draw blood,
but neither are ever satisfied.
If religion says, ego is the reason man shall perish.
I say, ego is the reason man flourished.
She used to think she could fly, she would jump off the couch and it seemed so high. She lost sense of the air but her childhood could not compare.
She went to Saturn instead where she had freedom that was self-led, so more worries no more excuses, no more waiting for a savior to tell her reality is gone.
She took the world into her own hands, she used to think she could fly, she figured out soon it was all planned out so to Saturn she wondered about, she skated from one ring to the other.
Better than the life she knew, but frankly she didn’t have a clue, didn't know wrong from right all she knew is that her life was taking flight.
She felt as if everything she was used to had been washed away and she couldn’t have been in more of a mixture of disbelief and array, a satisfaction that blew her away.
She pondered the stars and this was her newest adventure by far.
Ancient maps,
streaked with stars,
charted paths unknown.
But oceans are vast,
a whispered warning:
the world too wide.
Stars explode,
a symphony of light,
a universe in flux.
But what is hidden
behind that cosmic cloud?
Our minds yearned,
but our vision blurred.
Humanity delves,
with sharpened minds,
seeking to unlock
nature's hidden code.
Yet the universe
whispers in quanta:
a mystery endures.
Concrete canyons
climb for the heavens,
our aspirations are vast.
Yet, the earth gasps,
her lungs constricted,
our impact lingers.
Our minds reach,
but grasp at phantoms,
caught in the cycle.
To create and destroy,
then recreate,
the endless dance.
To see ourselves
in the starry void,
is to recognize,
both vast potential,
and finite flaws.
For even stars
have a final burn.
We are creatures
of yearning and longing,
ever searching,
forever bound,
to the dance of the universe.
No blaze can faze our Great LORD
We cannot afford to NOT call on the LORD
He will RESPOND
His Kingdom is OUR Covenant Right
Faith has no limitations
God’s WORD will respond to any situation!
He is a HELPER in times of trouble
He CARES for His citizens and
His tender MERCIES are new every morning
Faith entreats but never argues
Faith will get the job done
Faith is liberation, not a hazard
Faith is the Future being told to the present
Your future is God’s past so it is imperative that
We cast our lives on the Great Lord
We cannot afford to NOT call on the LORD
He will RESPOND
His Kingdom is OUR Covenant Right
Faith in Jesus Christ is a Solid Foundation

There are no limitations in life be a free spirit and live
Or somewhere
where we go
when the birds we hope are guiding us
Follow a path
that’s been created
with pure intentions
When the birds are calling,
find me following
where the water goes
It flows
like running words
through my mind
If only I could find a way
to make the words
mimic the birds
and fly away sometimes

I
So am I here standing in mine presentence;
Promenaded engaging in mid-life stream
Never-ending yet moving in standing premise;
Evaporate, I’m jest a mist,
Cold heart ache I am predestine;
Ruminate and step,
Over and over again and again;
I creep joyously I slept
Covered in air,
Transparent where are;
Mine gifts of lore’;
II
Promises of the garden shows;
plantings of the premised tolls;
All and how gallant,
Streaming marches spider-ants;
Planetary delights, shiny bright;
Moon peaking in the daylight;
Coving the suns stare,
Milky skies of silver and white clouds,
Covered in air,
Transparent where are;
Mine gifts of lore’

WRITTEN WORDS BY James Edward Lee Sr. 2023©
We all have limitations
Which we fight or we accept,
But when new ones may confront us,
Notions that we’ve always kept
Might no longer help define us.
We might need a different view
Of the things we can accomplish,
Less than what we used to do.
If we’re lucky, it’s a setback
And we’ll find our former self,
After treatment and some patience,
Waiting calmly on the shelf.
School doesn't teach you
How to sell a product or service
School doesn't teach you
How to think creatively and productively
School doesn't teach you
How to negotiate in business deals
School doesn't teach you
How to face failure and overcome it
School doesn't teach you
How to manage time and utilise it
School doesn't teach you
How to invest money in trade and projects
School doesn't teach you
How to find passion in your endeavors
School doesn't teach you
How to make an impact in life
School doesn't teach you
How to start a business and grow it
School doesn't teach you
How to communicate effectively in public
School doesn't teach you
How to read a financial statement

LIMITATIONS OF POWER
Mortal men are in different sizes,
our gifted lives are in phases.
No lifetime is made to rival another less a tie;
The sky is too large for each not to fly.
If you're con artist don't try to swindle
him whose mind is a detective and isn't fickle
else your ephemeral lights will dwindle.
If you're the pen, don't battle with my muse
else you spill ink, laying bare masterpiece.
If you're the devil don't battle a god nor cavil
except you are the heavenly sequel.
If you're the MMA star don't battle ISREAL Adesanya
except you're the real style bender.
If you're illuminati thinking you control the world,
don't near Faith Generals who embodies God.
If you're the roost king, don't battle Slim Shady
except you're real Marshall Mathers who's born ready.
Despite the invention of Baphomet to look bigger,
Templars won't rage in the face of the Alpha and Omega.
Every one is king or ruler of their space board
But we are all lords, lord by One Lord, Our Lord,
Irrespective of each either being Even or Odd.

Admit limitations, but exceed them ~ don't resign yourself to them.
No fun using a "walker" believe me
Need assistance with every small task
Constantly asking for help
Puts a big burden on family members
If I could revert to my "pre-walker" days
A blessing it surely would be
Those jovial carefree days of my youth
Was a joy to be happiness bound
Then reality is in we're only here once
Life is just a one-act play
So make the most of it while we exist
A heavenly land awaits
