Night of the living song
Sings forth melodies long
Deeply called unto persistency
Lone, a alone alas sadden heart religiously
Cries aloud sadden purposeful sorrows paths
Not allowing the sun to go down while in a wrath
LIVING SONG emotions long sun to go DOWN on my WRATH-
8/27/26
written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2026©
Calibrated with fortified spirit to pursue, fight
Amidst brewing storm in a subtle hour of darkest night
Pulling all strengths to move unceasingly forward
Talon’s fearless claws abrading trials, holding faith hard.
Ascent with prayers to view the gleaming light of dawn
Illuminated heart of hope wakes a dogged determination
Noble act of heroism flails with great leadership to lean on.
Ardent impulse to journey more tough roads to success
Maximizing power to carry heavy loads, fighting distress
Earnest desire to fly crossing mountains and vast seas
Remote on retreats to fulfill self to others’ dream or wish.
Imperishable impetus to venture with insignia of goodness
Coat of resilience for pains with wisdom to grow from weakness
A fortitude to persistency for achievements and happiness.
“We have always held to the hope, the belief, the conviction
that there is a better life, a better world, beyond the horizon.”
~Franklin D. Roosevelt
Belief, Hope, Conviction sound dandy
but they’re all just a bunch of crock!
Believing that I am a bird and
jumping from atop a mountain
hoping to blissfully fly away
is simply not gonna happen.
First, I have to grow wings!
In between ‘believing’ and ‘hoping’
you have to have luck, talent, opportunity,
persistency, personality and timing.
Millions in Ukraine believed in
and hoped for a better future,
Yet, it took just one Crackpot
to blow their hopes to smithereens.
The above quote is purely cosmetic.
The fault, my dear, is in our stars!
Imagery evoking sublime feelings inspired with bliss
Delighting the soul while reaching heart’s abyss
Refreshing, recharging spirit toward victorious revival
Enabling, empowering commitment of service approval...
Aim of my poetry is to please Source of life and light
My God Who works midst marvels, miraculously right
Prompted by wise thoughts, propelling writing vibrancy
Optimizing creative persistency along joy's supremacy…
Ecstatic to share grace, love, faith, mercy, peace-enrichment
Triumphant meditations, vanquishing gloomy predicament
Reverberating midst rhymes or verses the Lord's kindness-deed---
Yes, I dream poetry along thanksgiving praise*, awakening indeed!
*Hebrews 13:15 - By him therefore let us offer the sacrifice of praise to God continually, that is, the fruit of our lips giving thanks to his name.
(Acrostic in rhyme)

The qualities of one’s many thoughts are the measure of one’s power.
Vividly visualize all good and wonderful things as raining down in an abundant shower.
Concentrating on that real power that exist within you surely will manifest itself.
Dwell upon affirmations of joy, peace, love, health and wealth.
The royal road to riches is in the power of the mind.
There is no need for the customary eight-hour grind.
Everything begins with a thought and is manifested into reality
with action.
With constant sagacity will invoke the law of attraction.
When you find that thing that you love to do, that passion that burns within, pursue it consistently.
Undying faith will transport you to your destiny with persistency.
The rare courage to face the unknown is simply the lack of fear.
With strong pertinacity, you will find joy, harmony and favor year after year.
Persistency of wearing pants while still in shorts,
May end up wearing a piece in any sort.

Hummingbird hardly heard,
airily, merrily
extraordinarily
effortless floating, near
weightless transparency,
seemingly without the
slightest of care.
Urgent persistency,
terribly panicky,
frenzied and frantic, she's
burning through energy
rapidly, hungrily;
precise machinery
executes there.
Mallard so lazily,
buoyantly floating on
glassy flat waters, he
glides on the surface, and
wanders unhurriedly,
conveying contentment,
trivial feat.
Feet like a bicycle
furious pedaling,
splendidly, swimmingly,
chasing and fishing, he's
hungrily hunting and
ready to eat.
Worthy by God's grace of His granted mercy*
Offering life to the Lord willingly, midst tempting complacency
Redeemed thru genuine faith in the Saviour's all-sufficiency
Kindled with the King's commission to serve with zeal's fervency
Empowered in the might of the Master in His excellency
Restored because of Christ's love and clemency.
Overcomer of self against arrogance-persistency
Forgiven to worship the Creator with divine ecstasy
Governed and guided by Scriptures' truth-fervency
Ordained and ordered to obey the Almighty's biblical policy
Directed by the Holy Spirit from jealousy toward virtuous work-decency.
*Psalm 62:12 "...Unto thee, O Lord, belongeth mercy: for thou renderest to every man according to his work."

Our Great Commission involvement’s motive…
Is it just a mere display of our desire to be active???
It should not be out of leisure’s elective or pleasure’s incentive---
Let's work for the Lord’s glory* thru His directive to be heavenly productive!!!
Our Great Commission involvement’s advancement…
Is it just a mere execution of our pursuit for self-fulfillment???
It should not be out of fleshly energy in performing our assignment---
Let's labour in the Lord’s vineyard by His empowerment in our commitment!!!
Our Great Commission involvement’s consistency…
Is it just a mere break in our routine to add variety to schedule so busy???
It should not be out of urgency devoid of spiritual persistency---
Let's serve upon the Lord’s prodding with faithfulness’ fervency!!!
Our Great Commission involvement’s partnership…
Is it just a mere exercise of our civil dealings because of worldly friendship???
It should not be out of what we can get from brethren’s fellowship---
Let's edify the Lord’s saints with love and respect in our anointed stewardship!!!
*1Corinthians 10:31 ... Whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

To live for God’s glory* upon His holiness’ territory
We, Christians, are called for it by His victory
Let’s shine with good works after we’ve been saved by His Gospel story
And be submissive to Him as He leads us from worldliness’ misery!!!
To live with faith for God’s glory thru His sanctification…
We, believers, are set for it along our conversion.
Let’s stay in His will which is characterized by blessed perfection
And be committed to Him as He purifies us amidst sins’ corruption!!!
To follow the right way for God’s glory according to His Word…
We, His children, are prodded toward it as taught by His record.
Let’s strive to be holy since we’re justified by the blood of the Lord
And be obedient to Him as He directs us to His standards' ford!!!
To serve faithfully for God’s glory by His mercy…
We, His stewards, are refined for it with His persistency.
Let’s trust Him thru fiery trials proving our fervency
And be close to Him as He meets us in prayer-fellowship’s ecstasy!!!
*1Corinthians 10:31 Whether therefore ye eat, or drink, or whatsoever ye do, do all to the glory of God.

It's interesting how a person can move in a steady rhythm without a thought to the matter
How autopilot is as real of a thing to the human person as it is to a plane
How this constant unconscious movement often pulls us thin to the point where we might shatter
And how we don't even realize it's happening as we find ourselves driving along in the wrong lane
It's interesting...
It's interesting how we can watch our feet moving step by step but not register at all that we're walking
How we can clearly see in retrospect all the things we were blind to as we mechanically trudged by
How the mindless persistency of consistency causes us to look at nothing gaulking
And how we can pass by everything and still miss it all without even a try
It's interesting...
He gathers all flowers he sees to show off his romance.
He chops all trees he faces to show off his masculinity.
He gayly spits out a lump of saliva to show off his coolness.
He leaves traces of money wherever he goes to show off his richness.
He sings everyday, every moment to show off his persistency and passion.
But she doesn't stare into his eyes
with admiration nor satisfaction nor true desire.
Her eyes are a pair of story tellers, without a tint of a lier.
They only speak the truth, insulting the man with a harsh glare.
This time, his simple-mindedness carries him away.
His lack of mind demonizes his very heart and bones of his soul,
Snapping at once like a monster, existing as a deleterious being.
He goes mad, killing hundreds, thousands, millions, thirsty for a genuine love,
only waiting for to see a swarm of oozing blood waves gushing in and out of his lungs.
He cannot cope with this madness,
His responsibility he has once established.
At last, he cuts his breath with an undeniable slash with his double edged sword,
chanting a regretful cry out of his body until the silence takes over his surrounding.
After all this time
Dare we go there?
Eventually we have no choice
Unknowingly the decision was made for us
So although I am a little sad this is adieu; until we meet again
*Gerald (suggestion of the word in Portuguese) & Jack (his persistency :)
Hope you are not disappointed*

now allow me to get these infintile rules straight, i cannot use profanity, but may I
at least employ the word "profanity?"
RESOLVED TO REVOLVE
Constantly
Consistently
Caustically
Persistently
Yet I resist with resolve
As the world revolves
I’ll constantly be plagued by sorrow
I’ll consistently be afraid of tomorrow
Caustically and casually comes you, a casualty
Then I begin to persistently beg for neutrality
And remain fortified by resolve and a resolution
But here and now I declare this a revolution
It’s just two stagnant people standing still as the world revolves
And we’ve got worldwide problems no one ever solves
So if you are constantly, consistently and caustically going to harass me with
persistency
I’d say that my disdain for the likes of you is only in its infancy
And it shall grow likewise as does a field of wicked weeds
So with a bow I leave you now because you have too many f***** needs
And I’ll write you persistently to inform you of where the virgin road leads
