She laughs, she cries, then she sighs
brimming with confidence,
the pain within she denies
Her heart thumps then skips a beat,
as she reads poetry, a taste of bittersweet
In quiets empty moments, a hole
remains deeply in the soul,
an abyss, an unmeasured chasm
It’s the space p~o~e~t~r~y fills
Her personal dead poet society
stirring her deepest passions
awakens her dormant desire
her quest not for fame or fortune
but for the elusive treasure of inner piece
Her confidence misconstrues itself for vanity perhaps
sureness
positiveness
conviction
certitude
reliability
assuredness
assurance
validity
conclusiveness
authoritativeness
truth
factualness
self-possession
nerve
poise
aplomb
presence of mind
phlegm
level-headedness
cool-headedness
firmness
courage
boldness
mettle
fortitude
belief in oneself
faith in oneself ...
…
…
...are all just more vanities?
free-spirited or lost soul?
do both make one another?
the vanity of human wishes?
work in progress…
This is Poetry Reading Day today,
That is always one of my favorite days;
Was not expecting rainy weather though;
Already seeing some flowers coming up.
Christmas Cactus have started to bloom;
Friend Paul and wife will be home soon from cruise;
Luckily they are not watching their TV though;
Full of terror with death and destruction.
Fall is in air with many great colors;
Will be Thanksgiving soon then Christmas;
Heard about Taylor Swift and her singing;
Enjoying things is best way to do them.
There have been many businesses closing?
Would rather hear about new ones openings;
Happiness is always in a positiveness vein;
Cruises would be so great while wonderful.
Hope that Government never does close up;
Hope that idiots quit coming into existence;
Hope that we follow laws and not break them;
Hope that God answers all of our prayers.
Sounds great to me.
Lis lit light shines O' bright
Passions prominent
I just want to be a better man
Been wedded, promised and held
I just want to be a better man
Came through the canal
Naked I breathe
Aging to be a better man
Jesus came and died rose again so that I could be
I am a better man
A sin is still a sin though different they be
I was bond now I'm set free
Hilton and a shame in my sins did I reign
Oh but Mercy has set me free Mercy's Grace Liberty has displaced and in my captivity I'm released I'm set free
Not all that I am
Be forgiven rebirth born again
Been wedded, promised and held
I just want to be a better man
Came through the wrong choices
Listen To the wrong voices
Aging to be a better man
Lis lit light shines O' bright
Passions prominent
I just want to be a better man
Now I speak life abundance
Positiveness
Lis lit light shines O' bright
Passions prominent
Now this moment in God
I am a better man

LISTEN-
This a conversation as the Lion speaks to the Lamb…
Lion says to the Lamb
Listen could I speak to your silence;
May I whisper to your heart’s ear?
May I speak abundant peace?
May I cover you in the rain?
May I embrace all the drama and the pain?
May I see you, you’re always;
This is a new time, new life, and new ways
May I ask the Father could I wash your feet?
Listen His preeminent is so sweet;
In the old garden of Eden
After the, the fall the Lion would have eaten the Lamb
But in this dispensation of time
In the this new heaven new earth now the Lion a willing blessed servant
If given words a positiveness absolutes;
Don’t refrain from your truths.
Write them down in the tablet of your heart
Speak aloud you’re a Lion of God and trough him now I roar… that’s all

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2022©
Once I felt so sad and weary;
My heart said, I couldn't carry.
I wanted to be merry;
But my mind is so dreary.
I paused and thought for things;
I taught myself to think for positiveness.
I learned how to be a happy being;
I wanted to blot out negativeness.
I stopped and knelt;
I prayed to God and talked to Him.
My heart was at ease, that's what I felt;
My mind was happy and never in dim.
When you have God in you;
Your worries will be set free.
Mournful thread will be changed.
Our Almighty is our greatest strength.
When you have God in you,
You can find meaning in life;
Which once you have treated meaningless.
Our God is our real happiness.

Performance comes first
Predictions next
Pronouncing what
Paining a lot
Positiveness of the test
sometimes in my heart I look inside my vision;
while in the tapestry of my mind I await my mission;
I wait for my God to give me strength;
to follow through, to arrive at the gate;
and when my turn,
has come and gone...
I swallow
I swallow my pride
I open
open up the doors of my mind
I swallow
I swallow my pride
I await the positiveness of my Savoir, my Lord, my God
often caught in self base vain and glory
never relinquishing my true story
I wait for my god to give me strength
to follow through, for mercies sake;
and when my turn,
has come and gone...
I swallow
I swallow my pride
I open.
and when my turn,
has come and gone...
I swallow
I swallow my pride
I open
I swallow my pride
I open
open up the doors of my mind
I swallow
I swallow my pride
I await the positiveness of my Savoir, my Lord, my God
while in the here and now, I shall... I'll
I swallow
I swallow my pride
Through The Clouded Darkness I See the SON---
Spent most of my time surrounded by
Clouded images ever so bonded fly
Now as I ponder
Mind wanders
Raining doubts on my positiveness
Blessings almost corrupted
Steadfastly I cry
Wiping tears from my eyes
Darkness comes thunder storms
I look up I see ever so clearly now...
I see the SON
Alas
Through the clouded darkness I see the SON---

how many times have you said
that your life is one big mess
and that the ringing in your head
tells you you're a wreck
although that thought may be true
here's some positiveness for you
take the negativity off your menu
and on this tidbit chew
keep those thoughts out of your head
although they're hungry they need not be fed
there's no need for them to spread
in the time that you have left
because if you weren't a whopping mess
how ever then would you be blessed
and in who would you find your rest
with that being said
accept that yes with great finesse
the one true God loves you no less
to him you are a beautiful mess
and he can handle it
Oh, Positiveness, you keep me company somehow:
Much like grains to a hungry dove,
Do you appear to a restless-me and so, to you I bow,
And I think not of you as distant—now.
You are near and dear to me, wow!
Showing up in my needy hour,
Much like grains to a hungry dove.
Positiveness, benefits on me you shower.
Positiveness, you are indeed angelic!

The Dirty Mind
of the young
who let the dirt dominate their mind
negativeness to rule their heart
dirt
leads to death
when one fails to subdue
by positivity
of either thoughts
or
desire
that helps one to live a pure life
a spotless life
against all dirt and potholes
that
lead one astray
from positiveness away
dirty way
immoral acts
bad habits
unbecoming behaviour
unaccepted conducts
caused by such a dirty-terrible mind.

Deep inside the soulish blue,
Moonstone shines,
Secrets held from ancient times,
Strange connections,
Locked between the pearly veil.
Mysteries powers,
Create rhythmic tides,
Connecting the blue stone
With the moon,
Stilling and calming
Protection from oceans wide,
Beliefs in its preciousness,
Bright blue color of the skies
Romances first love,
Looking into her eyes,
Reflect the inner life,
Sleeping through dead of night,
Moving into unseen realms
Dreaming dreams,
Secrets of the universe,
Emotions of the blue,
Fetching hope,
Life and lessons,
Dancers with artistic expressions,
Healing from depression,
Moonstone positiveness
All in the balance.
Growth and strength,
Full of passion.

Happiness
Feel the way I feel the happiness ,
Love the way it seems like the likeness ,
No shadow of sorror no more boredness ,
Only love the way the life seems sweetness ,
Having so much couage and so much liefness,
Feel the thing as they give happiness ,
Positive thoughts and feeling makes energies
Hope everything makes seems so goodness
Feel and live with all hope and happiness
Do good and don't think for the rest
Do your best and feel the greatness
Love the way life smiling and giving courage to fight
Think once it is the best opportunity to serve your kindness ,
Love yourself and feel the love of your livelihood
Then you realise how the life is beautiful n blessings
Just reflect positiveness and feel all the goodness
If you feel then sure you realise what is happiness .....
Wow swweetheart what a rush i got zooming in from outer space
and landing at your front door and talking to you at the same time.
I swear i had an outer body experience. It was a fantastic journey. I really mean it. Any moment i was waiting for you to come outside. I was so close to you it seemed real. Wow it made my day. What a lift in spirits for both of us. You mean so much to me sweetheart. I am the luckiest dad in the world to have you. I feel an energy of positiveness is surrounding you at all times more than ever Like ESP. A good change is slowly unfolding for you. I really feel that. I just feel great. I love you my number one daughter...Spacedad.
