Budding, preening tendrils in winter sunshine
Flora grasping, creeping from terra firma
Standing breathless, dawn is a sapphire calyx
Hope springs eternal
(a time piece in space)
behind yonder face
the fat queen lays indolent
subjects scurry blind
a hive of activity
driving each day into night.

Terra Firma
If heaven ræste on thy brow
and Hell beneath thy feet
Thus life would be more crowded Now,
Thou has taken seat
Lyrical in beauty
dug from the depths
of the past.
A storyteller, articulate
elegaic writing words
to last.
Of farm life and childhood,
deep in Irish terra firma
frozen in memory
and now
released for our delight
in a succinctness of thought
of the commonplace
land
inland, cultivable
leasing, foraging, entailing
terrestrial, terra firma, oceanic, offshore
boating, ferrying, sailing
acquatic, nautical
sea
How chafed the foot bereft of sole,
when unshod thoughts meet splintered floor.
Known terra firma drifts from whole,
as reason loses sight of shore.

Elixir of life
Paramount to living souls.
Sans it, endless strife.
The terra firma
A domain which teems with life.
Sans it, landbound die.
Air, the gentle breeze
A clot of gas we hold dear.
Sans it, woe betide.
Water, land, air
Gifts of god precious art they
Need them be destroyed?

Finding Mother Earth
The moment’s monumental blip in time and place attempts to find
meandering fluctuating oscillating resting points in mother’s mind
She lights a candle incense soothing oils seeks terra firma of a kind
loving compassionate Gaia to leave her spinning troubles all behind

Summer has a huge mouth
who speaks by the light that clears
life...
winter is a downpour
partner of lands and fields...
autumn has a blood gray
that it lent the moon...
spring is a sea of flowers
cultivated in paradise,
and humans we are sowers
sown from everywhere
of the universe loose
here on this terra firma... !
Rising on the morning wind,
The scent of wisteria
Spills forth in fragrant laughter
Lifting my spirit from earth;
Across the ordinary,
Beyond a cosmic boundary,
Joining the celestial song--
Becoming the lesser note
Of a wondrous harmony,
Resonating ecstasy--
For a moment returning
To mortal terra firma,
Touched by immortal wisdom.
Rising on the morning wind,

Lifting my spirit from earth;

Joining the celestial song--
Becoming the lesser note
Of a wondrous harmony,
Resonating ecstasy--
For a moment returning
To mortal terra firma,
Touched by immortal wisdom.

terra firma truths
a very, weak hell roars
because of the heaven
flames eternal burn
lasting forever always
lies of earthen dad
heavenly Father
cover-ups demons so fell
protect as I fly
off into the skies
rapturing soul spirit soars
because of the heaven

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr. 2019 ©
Water, water everywhere;
nothing here is stable,
but the moon sickle sinks
her tendrils into our hearts.
Roots reach
below the diluvian chaos,
anchor us
to the terra firma
that is down there,
somewhere –
we sense it
in our memories,
in our dreams.
after a painting by Greg Edmondson.
From my new collection The Eden of Perhaps (Spartan Press, 2020)
Listen to poem:
trapped dreaming of land
mal de mer was atrocious
force nine storm endured
time moved so slowly
frightful journey remembered
misery at sea
land ahoy! thank God
disembarking with relief
terra firma joy

My honey and me
are going to sea
The terra firma, UC
is not for her or for me
Living in the wood
is not any good
Summer’s full of fleas
not to mention bees
Winter’s chill freezes my nose
not to mention, I’ve lost three toes
So off we go, out onto the ocean
my jar of honey and me, devoted bosun
Look down on me and you'll see
A simple blur in natures mist
Looking down on my life's surround
Like it's particles, I'll soon drift
So silently in natures dark
I'll never be that feather
For somewhere against my fall
The whistling of me shall blether
As I descend to I
To Earths terra firma I mean
I pray I get to look up
To where the Branches of Life I've been.
<*>
drinking champagne
in a savage champaign
before I was born
after I died
through magnetic fields
spinning
charged
specially relative
that's why my name
is written on them
I wander north
and south of course too
following the streaks
with exquisite corpse
and synapses behind
though with no sense
in a parallel universe
invisible
but still there
real or unreal
through land
and through nothing
"MYST"
Under Anaesthesia
the dream bleeds fast,
it lasts forever, it’s over too quick
Some kind of fantasy, you meet those you missed
Terra Firma no longer exists
Floating with other beings
Legends are embraced
lovingly long time kissed
In the Bardo, the "Between" place
I'll wait for you
with those missed
I will wait for you
in the
Myst
(Lovejoy-Burton/May 2018)
See up there the crest of heaven
Cast aside the earthly realms
Touch black, scorched and engraven
Earth again, rocket down, ready helms.
Did you seize divinity past sky's limit?
Erasing gravity with your metal falcon
Limitless physic forces as you rim it
This invisible barrier a vacant balcony
Unhappy with these bonds upon us
Seeking outward bounds of new worlds
Scorching reality with rocket fuels fuss
Welcome back to Terra-Firma boys
Is it still you?
Houston... we have a problem.
They grazed their sheep upon my grass
So many centuries in the past
In feudal times,a monastery of hope
'Til King Henry divorced the Pope
In later times upon my hill
They set a smock windmill
As Victoria came on her throne
A brewery made this site its own
Later in more social times, a public bath
In which poor folk cleansed at my hearth
The 'sixties brought a different call
Under an impersonal shopping mall
Change continues on,so persistent
But my soil stays,omniscient
