AN AVIAN WALK
What a peaceful walk!
Palisade-treed-birds, echoing:
Ringing ears silenced:-
Upon green hills where gentle breezes play,
A village wakes to greet the golden light.
No city horns disturb the break of day,
Just birds that sing and skies serenely bright.
The air is crisp, each breath a gift so pure,
With streams that babble secrets as they run.
Life moves in rhythms peaceful and demure,
Unhurried hours beneath the warming sun.
Fields stretch in green, and laughter fills the air,
Neighbors share stories by the fireside’s glow.
No restless race, no burdens hard to bear,
Just simple joys that only dreamers know.
Far, far away from crowds that rush and strive,
Here, hearts find peace and truly learn to thrive.

Monocrostic (Birthday of Daisy Manlangit)
Under eighteen
hot tears spilling
nowhere near serene
at the end of your rope
cannot cope
need fulfilling
please don't mope
there's always hope
here's the dope
find someone thrilling
you can soft-soap
who is willing
and won't say 'Nope'
to a clandestine marriage
on the slippery slope
of the blacksmith's anvil
hire the carriage
you prefer
defer the billing
and elope
Pristine displays of petals glory peaked!!!
Quintessence virtues of radiance emerge
when crystalline enchantments unfold.
Guileless, flawlessness flowers give us
serenity blossoms to freshly fluff earth.
Like sunlit tides on a quiet shore,
a breath of peace in each rolling wave,
it hums of freedom, soft and serene—
a prism of truth in motion’s embrace,
where hope drifts in translucent grace.

in dead sea
At the most serene place where peace is sown,
Our laughter mingles with the scent of meals,
We unite, based on stories we have known,
The telling of these fables still appeals.
Many days we slept with tinctures of fear,
Though with scars, our lives scaled through many storms,
Somehow, our bond always wiped dry our tears,
Made cozy our beds, kept us safe and warm.
Many waters have passed under our bridge,
Yet all storms we weathered with love and grace,
And never once did we slip from the ridge,
No troubles could erase hope from our face.
Now our future shines bright and crystal clear,
A stroke of luck, and sorrow takes its flight,
Now filled with hope, we welcome with a cheer,
On a path that is clean, clear, right, and bright.
composed and content
the blissful expression
of a righteous mind
the taste of serenity on the lips
the smile that speaks of peace
that manifests overt felicity
for all the world to contemplate
that harmony is not so otherworldly
and wisdom is somehow within reach

Lazy Day on the Water
She rests on the blue green water while
we sit on her deck taking in the yellow sun.
To port a pod of sleek black dolphin
swim lazily by.
Her white sails sag limply
waiting for the slightest breeze.
The blue dome of the sky above us
lures us into a sense of serenity.
We are at peace.
Not found outside, found to be coy,
From inside’s generated joy.
World is part good to please
To those that take as is,
An island of joy comes to buoy
So serene
From within,
Should one take care not to destroy.

You have nerves of steel, like everyone wants.
I admire your casual nonchalance.
A falling piano could not erase
the serene countenance on your face.
God Father master artist
Elohim Creator of all beautiful things
Good New Day It is today He does promise
All creation and nature sings
That is so new
My God ever true
He has granted grand awakenings
Continually we strive forward and upward
We're embraced by His Love
And Graced by His Grace and Favor
Covered in His glory protection He enables
Ever thankful we are in this His New Day
Beloved We are Hallelujah
Blessed Good New Day we sing
Enjoy your day and evening
In this...
DAY GLORIOUS NEW SERENE DAY-
11/1/24
Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2024
There should be a moment for self in life,
A time to look into the chamber,
A time to exhale the cocooned gloom,
There should be a moment for self in life,
A time to tunnel light into the dark room,
Light comes from a moment of serene solitude,
There should be a moment for self in life,
A time to look into the chamber.
There should be a moment for self in life,
A time to exhale the cocooned gloom,
A time to tunnel light into the dark room,
Light comes from a moment of serene solitude,
A time to look into the chamber,
Illumination will cast away the recalcitrant shadows.
