I'm a stem standing uprightly
Basking rigid strong
Leaves as arms
I flourish under the sun
I shower in rain
Growing I stand tall and strong
Reaching up
I am fluent.
My head sky shines
Bloom budings my head
Smiles fragrant blue
I am a flower succulent
Beautiful radiant fragrant
I grow I stand ever tall

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr
One magical night I endeavored to reach that beautiful blue moon that
Neptune was so enamored with. 6.7 arcminutes, as I moved closer in
Electromagnetic energies drove me to the archway of the heavens
Mesmerized by its incandescent light, I was transported to another realm
Acoustic sounds of Angel voices, pulsing lights and Celestial vibrations
Gradient falls of earthly flowers vanished from my view as I rose up,
Imbued by a nocturnal aria I lost myself inside a moonflower's bloom
Caressed by serendipity each shiny stars was a windfall of Grace
Neptune lanterns of even glow hung off a crescent moon. Oh what joy to
Immaculate my soul with all its pristine hues of blue. She shone bright as a
God of eternal messianic love, she was the key to every planet's open door
Hallelujah hales of sweet rejoice. I was bathed in a crown of light, at the
Tailwind of midnight, a rocking motion from that magical blue moon.

A hush a bye lullaby
There she is a baby so homley,
Cradled, cuddled all cozy,
It's 3am but I"m not lonely,
As I rock my cutie so closely,
Humming hush a bye to my beautiful baby,
What a flawless creation,
Utter pure perfection,
You smell sweet like honey,
Smiles cheeky but so lovely,
Such radient rosie cheeks to behold,
An angelic gift greater than gold,
A true blessing I've been bestowed,
I'm a Mommy with my bundle of joy to hold,
Hush a bye baby,
Mommy's a very lucky lady,
To have her lovely little lady,
Even at 3am when you"re being a cry baby.
Lots of love Auntie Sarah xx 21/02/23
inexpressible longings
stirrings of breezes
tunes drifting on the currents, through my window
with the scent of the ionized nitrogen lighting air
and clouds, light and whispy, radient gradients of color playing between
oh, how i long to be alive again
to be alive some more
more life
always and ever, my cry
more life, more life
the music is overwhelming me
with its beauty and gravity
and chemical peace transmitted neurologic
blood currents
the pain and fear and horror of being
the promise and hope
that faith portends
my body, my flesh
craving, lusting
burning
this fire is ever present
the fire of the spirit
is ever present
longing, begging, screaming
life
more life
I implore the sun to shine on you again
The last drops of rain wash away your sadness
I do not wish to see you in pain
Please, for you only cheer and happiness
I carry the burden of the pain that I caused
Might even say that I'm bound - ashamed
When I heard of your weeping I paused
Did Cupid's arrow reach where he aimed?
I give to the universe now this request
That the radient light of peace be yours with zest.
gods of small things have callis palms
to busy to eat grapes on mount olympus.
Their gardens consist of mature
rhododendren bushes that clamor for
attention from the sun.
most live in 1970s ranch style houses
with radient ceiling heat.
they admire jade plants and place them in
the window lattice.
similarly twisting there necks..
twisting up for warmth.
reaching up to the ceiling.
stretching up to the sun....
see icarus fly.. see icarus fall.
stumbling into corners earlobe
equilibriums intoxicated.
gods of small things..
your hair curling down around
your neck like spun glass.
vibrant joy of the inner church,
what holyness is this?
renewed light in my house
under a gray liquid sun.
your smile glowed so
radient and beatiful.
.........happy vacation, love nathan.
Who waves the flaming brand? I really think I know.
Arrayed with fiery arms, He puts on quite a show.
The artist of autumn, in a dazzling display
Of sweet gums, and red maples—takes our breath away.
Summer fades to fall, trees give up their green,
Transformed by master design, red, yellow, serene.
Peacocks fluff their feathers; mocking birds busily sing,
Formidable autumn is a daunting thing.
Chlorophyll gives way to radient carotene hues,
Bright with fall wardrobe, wearing color clues.
Clap your hands O beauty, sing into the wind.
Share boundless blessings, blushed in scarlet blend.
Heaven shouts approval; people show amaze,
At your brilliant garments, displaying coats ablaze.
Leaves parade golden in fall’s nippy breeze.
We are highly joyful—God does things like these!
When you are going through troubles
and stife, feeling that life is too tough
and you simply have had enough,
When the stormy winds are rough
and life is full of pain and
dispair
may you always remember there is
always a rainbow after the storm
with Sunshine to wipe away your
tears of rain
and tenderly binding
up and healing your many pains.
At times like these, true friends are
there to support you through
by comforting and caring
for you.
Unburden your heavy heart
sharing with a dear friend
in every part.
Keep your hopes shining as bright and
as Warm as The Suns radient Light
Throwing all your troubles behind
into the darkness of the night helping
you to rest your weary mind and
sweet and pleasant sleep you will
surely find.
Beautiful World
Look at the Stars in the night sky, they are so
radient and bright,they bring joy and real delight
to the heart which is our inner sight.
The sky is like a black velvet sheet with the stars dazzling
like jewels making it beautiful and complete.
All stood in a ray look so magnificent and neat.
The Sun is a golden ring in the sky that sheds warmth and light
upon our beautiful world each day is a pleasure to behold to
the human eyes the window of the mind, all these wonderous treasures
and beauty we seek to find as the one who created them must be awesome
and truly kind.
The Depths of the sea is a vision of peace and tranquilty it is serene
pure and clean. Creatures of the sea are devine and incredibly beatuiful
especially to me.
There is beauty all around the world in every place in the universe there are sights
to see that you would never imagine the sunsets,beaches and the underworld creatures
are all awesome features that give insight to the one who created them for us to enjoy and care for.
Mirrors of society
they pick up paint brush and daub the colours of life on canvas
seeing vulnerability
pushing dimensions
and adding complexity to a simple shape by contour
shading objects to tell a story
these makers of image explore varied and vast directions
putting fingers to paint
and paint to surface
sometimes drawing from within
and often drawing from without -
they bespeak of endless trails of thought
and political aspirations
while telling tales of radient enterprise
just look and you will see
a riot of tints and hues
juxtaposed against
the backdrop of
imagination.

Hope
that elusive thing
that for some reason keeps us going
it is an absolute
in which we can all take part
but it has no substance that we can measure
we feed on it it but there never seems to be enough
though the cup is overflowing
Hope
a radient light
that brightens our darkest day
our assurence
that their is a right path
through the jumble of our lives
Hope
the way to the true path
that so many ignore
giving into despair
to the point where nothing
can ever reach them
when all they had to do is reach out
because
Hope
is always there
You'd better wipe the tears from your eyes.
You know that makes you seem weak.
Put down don't you call her and tell her
just how much she means.
Don't confess that you stair at her photos
and read her letters before you go to sleep.
Or the you pretend that you kiss her good-night
and she's still the girl of your dreams.
"Take it like a man.
Don't let your feelings show.
Listen to your friends.
Just let that girl go.
Although there's only
excrushiating pain,
suck it up
and take it like a man."
When she walks right on by,
show no emotion at all.
Dn't let on how it's killing you
to see her moving on.
And when you see tat radient smile
that you know you used to bring,
don't jump and say you're sorry.
Just act like she don't mean a thing.
"Choris"
And when you're lying all alone in your bed
wishing she was there right next to you.
Don't start feeling sorry for yourself
because it was you who chose to...
"CHORIS"
A little birdie tells me
This is a special day,
So I'd just like to send
A gem or two your way.
I think I'll choose a Sapphire
To emphasize the sky,
And then I'll choose an Emerald
For grass on which to lie.
Then I'll choose the Topaz
To be the morning sun,
And save the radient Ruby
For when the day is done.
I've saved the purest Diamond
To give to you today,
Because God has chosen
This for Your special day.
