constrained by senses five and fragmented mind
the world of plurality is what we see
to the underlying reality blind
the absolute truth alone can set us free
which when poised in the void is by us divined
when head melds with heart and both with truth agree
when we behold God in each and every form
with pulsations of His heartbeat we conform
I will move mountains for you, oft said
with little brain and surplus testosterone.
But why the plurality?
Surely, a single mountain moved
is Herculean enough to satisfy
the desires of the most covetous princess.
Then, what is a mountain?
I’m sure a mound or hill won’t do.
Also, move; would an inch to the left or right
gratify? I think not, dear sir.
So, where to find this mountain?
Bhutan seems a reasonable choice
they have so many, moving one
would likely not be missed.
Where too? The Midwest
could do with a mountain or two
attract more tourists, that sort of thing.
Then the naming:
something American,
that reflects the Native lands,
is gender neutral?
Then, would you and your girlfriend
climb to the top of Mount Sis Hank Running Bear
and both look out over the beautiful land?
No, she will be at home waiting for another man;
the man who said he would make the Earth move for her!
DREAMS WITHIN DREAMS
I’d just assumed that dreams were in one dimension
But last night, I dreamed that I was dreaming again
Looking back at it now, I know that it sounds insane
But as a world within a world, it can addle the brain
Yet in either dream, there was no detectable tension
For some, it’s hard to separate a dream from reality
And for a few, rare to know if they dreamed at all
Like finding oneself observing at a masquerade ball
With your entrance made through a crumbling wall
But a single dream, however strange, is not plurality
To many, such weird claims might deserve contempt
Just how many planes of a dream can there really be
But explaining it to oneself is never as simple as ABC
As in any dream state the brain can always float free
Yet who can truly remember all of the layers dreamt

DREAMS
I see new fantasies
When asleep, flowing fast from reality
Thoughts unfreeze
The unreal scene
With comfort in neutrality
I preen
Dear John
Plurality
Gone
I see new fantasies
With comfort in neutrality
Gone

I swim in your holy water
basic rules for survival
shed the skin
like a baptism
immersed in saltwater
the lower vibration
lifted
removed
from that prehistoric place
the dermabrasian stings,
raw, we walk out together
new creatures
into fresh certainty
soft thuds clawed suckling
on uncertain shores
the feelings
begin
solitary, rapturous
natural selection
resurfacing
singular in plurality

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2o23
From the forth coming anthology " JELSR PSALMS "
The primordial flash of the absolute
illumines the essence of diverse life forms,
the primal energy of the god particles
drives the destiny of the existent.
The universal elements embedded in each soul
interconnect the nodes of survival,
yet each is a tree in the forest of variety,
each is a flower in the garden of plurality.
The rhythm of continuum manifest in life
intones the cosmic music of love,
binding all by one harmonic string
of singularity harp resonating the prime melody.
Glowing in the glimmer of creator’s candle,
sublime soul recognizes the tenet of unity,
formulates the amalgamating equation of being
in the fold of divine network of integral oneness.

flashes of atavistic plurality
saves us timelessly
and sporadically
from what we are
programmed to be
by the system... !
The primordial light of the universe, the absolute,
illumines perennially the essence of the living.
The primeval energy of the universe, the ultimate,
drives perpetually the destiny of the existent.
The omnipresent element is ingrained in every soul,
interconnected by the common threads of truth.
Yet each one is like a tree in the forest of diversity,
each one is like a flower in the garden of plurality.
The Big Bang sound vibrated in the universal core,
boundless light in no time transformed into matter,
that remembers the tunes of the singularity event,
pulsates in resonance with the melody of the creator.
Everything crafted floats in the wave of continuum,
in all hearts it composes the cosmic music of love,
by one common harmonic chord they are all bound,
from one celestial harp all the prime rhythms arise.
The heavenly infinite network of unique oneness
encrypts the unifying divine algorithm of the being.
In the flicker of the creator’s lamp within the extant,
soul perceives the universal consciousness of unity.

Time passed
time lost, ?
time left behind
crucial matter, time...
plurality, mixture
fusion of eras...
what comes to us
in future times !?
something within stirs
it is the love elixir!
bubbling in elation
ending all separation!
as one without a second
no one here to ascend!
love a singularity
fusing plurality!

She, in the land of confusion, so fruitfully penned.
Never for a second sensing the animosity with which
her words were read.
Far from being a duncette, she was so naive to express
her beliefs and hopes in her heart and head,
Alas! She knew something was wrong.
Behind that papal sentimental use of God, so overused
in poetry.
The air so smoldering with the total absence of humility.
Worse,those poets so overjoyed to destroy other countries
And to rebuke other leadeers as evil and wrong!
Such parochiality and endemic immorality.
Weak, seedy keyboard poetic plurality.
She dreamt of a sane place to pen,
Not in dread, but she knew not where nor when.
Hence fell a hot tear fell and into a wintry sunset, she
stared.
Whom could she trust?
To whom, could she her tender soul bare?

The one
as many
manifest
with free will
bestowed
to each aspect
of Itself
to fully feel
and experience
each life throb
in freedom
slowly recognising
singularity
in plurality
all energies entwined
merely vibrating
at different octaves
of love & light
albeit veiled
momentarily
causing anxiety
arising from
misalignment
in the effort
to expand
within the bubble
of imagined self
as the ego
resident in
fleeting form
Seeing this play
the hermit
stretches & yawns
doing his bit
in as ordained
as a part
of the divine game
being enacted
moment to moment
both within
and without
then smiles
and moves on
within
in the void
of silence

Within form, reborn
Nodes within that adorn
Each node comes alive
Making radiant the body hive
Each node an awareness sphere
The nodes entwined, enjoined, very near
Thereby circumference being nowhere
And centre everywhere
Likewise without form, in singular oneness
Distinct yet dissolved free flowing be-ness
The truth all pervading
All encompassing
Is the all
In form, without form ...
Back to body consciousness
All nodes resonation synchronous
In unison, in tandem, in rhythm
Love energised within the divine bosom
Our being as such, the core, undefined
No duality or plurality, when divine entwined
Such is the be-ness, oneness
In staid stillness
