Motet leather surface skin
Covered Barracuda playing a violin
Gorgeous feather floating in the Wind
Phenomenal carcass harvesting
I am loosed as I am constantly persevering
Shedding my physical being floating flying up in my spirit
As my soul Rises to heaven

Written word by James Edward Lee Sr
Nativity foremost
Next to the Christmas tree.
Numerous carols sung
Near twilight Christmas eve.
Nourished with special treats,
Nocturnes joyously played.
Namaste to the world.

Note:
NOEL capitalized : means christmas
English speakers borrowed the word noel from French. It can be traced further back to the Latin word natalis, which can mean "birthday" as a noun or "of or relating to birth" as an adjective. (The English adjective natal has the same meaning and is also an offspring of natalis.). Noels were being sung in Latin or French for centuries before the word found its way into our language in the 1800s. The earliest known musical use of noel occurred in the text of a Christmas motet called "Nova vobis gaudia," which was written in the 1400s.
Namaste:
an ancient Sanskrit greeting still in everyday use in India and especially on the trail in the Nepal Himalaya. Translated roughly, it means "I bow to the God within you", or "The Spirit within me salutes the Spirit in you" - a knowing that we are all made from the same One Divine Consciousness.
Moon faces Keeper,
How long must you leave me here,
forlorn in earth's sea?
