We honor thee, oh Christ!
The sacrifice that You made,
The suffering You endured;
Stigmata signifying profound faith --
The Cross that checked the body
But not the Son’s Spirit~ man’s
Cruelty on full display; the
Crown of thorns, the drip the
Splatter – earth thus saturated~
Redeeming Blood of its Creator.
Drink of the Goblet...rise through the
Radiant Portals of His Temple
Illumined where lifted, to Divine Presence
And Soul Purification – All is
Thine; and we serve openly for love
And not lowly fear --
Pure Love has one Name!
Christ Brother and Savior. Surely Pure
Heart has one Divine Manifest, the
Son of God on his Beneficent Throne
Eternal – we witness in physical form
Trinity realignment with humanity and
Source transfiguring. Son of Man! God the Father!
Holy Spirit Righteous Blessing! Happy Easter.
Tattered by bad decisions, misdirected, unheard
questions that remain answered.
In a dilemma unequivocally side tracked by distorted
thoughts that occupy one's mind in such a matter.
On many occasions succumbed by blindspots,
Yielded by one way symbols, directional lights.
Illuminated calmly on one's voyage a mission of a shift .
A changeover of uncertainty, and a realignment for
A wellbeing life.
Fear of damnation
may keep some
on the path of Straight
And Narrow...but only love
leads to Father’s door and
welcome --
the convict forced to obey
rules of confinement, spirit’s
attempt at Heart’s realignment
earth is a humane
prison – isolated, in a galaxy
of limitless, greater fascinating
mystery -- truth~ our behavior
manifests as distance --
we have confined
ourselves in immeasurable ways;
Divine Connection why Christ
preached Love (above all
else) – saw death as salvation,
Evil, as surface preservation
and Eternal Life of health and Joy
(Son Relationship)
only after the Soul’s
Transfiguring Resurrection!
We turned the mattress over,
the world was leaning to one side,
and heads were rolling.
Bodies tipped over in the night,
whole families were found to be
slanted from the slippage.
They say (meaning nobody we knew),
that the sharp cheddar and the gruyere
had saturated the dreams
of our sleeping flesh.
We upended the matrass, slept well
for a night or two,
then the pale-faced fridge began to
groan unintelligibly,
it was joined by the AC unit,
who caterwauled,
and rattled its teeth non-stop.
Slowly the planet began to readjust,
to realign.
The doomsayers were not pleased,
they had expected
so much more
than bad breath and diarrhea.
Broken stem of a flower
Grafted in the rain shower
Placid Frozen desired passion
Roots of grounded lasses
Everlasting stand before the sun
Petals a blooms before The Shining of the Sun
Dawns the Moon
Cascade fully blossomed blue realignment in June

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2024
There was to be a realignment of time;
A time to be freed from the ties that bind.
Many things were both 'in and out' of line.
There was a top secret of the most divine kind,
and no one heard it through the grapevines.
No mortal knew the details of God's grand design.
Who would pay the penalty for the greatest crime?
Did mortals think they could stop the sunshine?
Did the devil rejoice as his demons dined?
He came into a world that was in deep decline.
The concept of love was to be totally redefined.
In due course, there would be no doubt, no denying.
By believing in Christ mankind would cease from dying.
There was a miracle that turned water into wine.
It would not matter what was written on a sign.
Millions over time would change their minds.
None would be hanging from the end of a rope.
The most hopeless would be infused with hope.
All could be free and no one needed to be left behind.
Inclined
The movement of madness,
The selfishness of desire,
Who is higher ? Who is fire ?
Broken ascents,
Non-existent dividends,
Where is laughter ? Where is water ?
Deformed misinformation,
Dematerialized ambition,
What is sin ? What is wind ?
Transcendental realignment,
An ages long assignment,
Which is worth ? Which is earth ?
- Muthoni Tenn
there comes a time when we are shaken
violently out of pompous and vain complacency
there comes a time for solemn introspection
for re-evaluating priorities and beliefs
there comes a time for sober questioning
meaning and grasping chance for realignment
there comes a time for summoning
self-awareness and restoring faith
it's in such troubled times that we are tested
and somehow the guiding light may shine clearer than ever
AP: Honorable Mention 2022
Introspection is consciousness's devise to realign itself with divinity's will!

Some find relief in solitary confinement
And others cherish the thought of being alone
I am but a weary soul craving for cessation and realignment
Waiting for greater powers to break this vestigial bone
Some are inclined to love and prosper
Relinquished control begets their duty to forget
I am built to loathe and falter
Borrowed time yields unreason; forever in sorrow’s debt
Some seek higher meaning in reason’s domain
Pity is the holder of divine understanding
I am a blemish that marks a desolate plane
Debasement is my steadfast tool for disbanding
Solace rests in a certainty embraced by one and all
To the place from which we came and from which we must depart
Eternal silence take stead and imbue my place of fall
Reprieve me of my ambling spirit and wandering heart
Journeys
There are many journeys...
There are journeys in which we observe the
world from conventional windows of body and mind.
There is another journey which involves recognition
that I Am much more than my old belief that my limited
body and mind is who I am. Also.. to discover that my
belief in limitation is the root of my suffering and
longing. The new journey, the Direct Path, belongs to
the experience of Non-Duality, in which are found to have
Two Legs:
the Inward, and the Outward. The Inward Leg results
in the discovery of our Unlimited nature, and the Outward
is a "return" to the world..beginning a life-long
realignment in our lives based on a recognized
True Identity…

I can not find a beginning to what my mind seeks to say
I cannot find a brilliance in the words I wish to convey
Every Wishful thought every truth wanted to unfolded only fills with disarray, I am here
I am willing I am a judgmental asswhole unwhilling,
Boundaries striped guidance unchecked,
My view of the balance needs realignment,
Heart felt in my motives, headstrong in my thoughts sometimes I need a conjurer to break my tight not.
Houdini, Houdini come find me let loose my blind eye
If only I might capture whats hiding in my opens plane eyes.
The inebriated
chalk eraser
of my existence
becomes an equation
of exponential proportions
divided into categories
of formulas measured
and weighed
against solvents
and chemical reactions
fused together
spacing into lines
by writing in
poetic rhymes
on a blackboard
of artistic realignment.
Experimental resources
explore inside
my mind
processes that
Einstein would
gravitate towards
and relate too
the existence of
continually riding
light waves
intellectually timed
creating drunk
apon
mathematical finds.
Suffering is the process of soul’s realignment with the moral order set by divine justice!
