There is a place, reserved for you and me,
put your best foot forward, if you wanna see.
Walk each day in the moment, as you go,
compassion, forgiveness and peace we must show.
We must have something, that the world does need,
we can’t give out, what others truly feed.
We can take a man to dinner, still can’t make him eat.
give a man a table, a place to put his feet.
Those words we give, are a seed unto the heart,
fill them with joy and love, peace, they will take part.
The world needs more understanding, forgiveness everywhere,
to do good things, is our cross to bare.
One by one, two by two, step by step you see,
there is a place, reserved, for you and me.
He's a bold man, very brave
So he blaze just like fire
Igniting the dark
Showing impact
Creating new paths
Breaking and creating new records
Shinning unapologetically
But never did he disparage anyone.
He's a blaze man
He blase
Always in his basement
Minding his business
Just like Jehovah witness
He doesn't joke with his findings
He hates intimidation
Living life step by step without limitations.
He's a blaze man
He's crazy about life
Not lazy with his dealings
His words are healing
Don't easily catch feelings
But when he does it's so real
He's so edifying
He always rectifies disputes.
Dreams are far away
But steps can be closer
One by one forward.
That creature that walks inside your soul
has become a house cat,
but beasts are beasts after all.
Before the fall and rise
there was just a middle moment
when we were only bewildered angels.
We are still within a puzzle of our own making,
but God is infinitely patient
and She has a long leash.
all the steps a long life has required ~
sprouts are still growing in the cracks

4th place in the contest
Seconds turn into days
Days turn into months
So on and on the clock turns
Step by step
Forever searching
Peace be still
My hearts yearns for truth
Step by Step
Where can I find you
Walk in the grayness
Mountain and valleys
Step by step
Closer and closer to the touch
Facing all fears
Beacon of light
Step by step
Never looking back
Forward becomes growth
Joy in the becoming
Step by step

To suffice the end of the world,
one step is enough!
To reach infinity:
not even the universe reaches...!
I don’t want to fix you.
And I certainly don’t need to be fixed.
But if we were to fix each other, it would be like this.
We'll start
with our broken smiles
But forget mending a broken heart
because what’s the point on fixing things that are meant to be broken
Like a glass stomped on at a wedding
The heart is meant to shatter and be mended and shatter and be mended and shatter again
Our gazes, though, those can be fixed
My eyes glass over more often than not which has much to do with the depths my mind travels to
Your eyes dart around the room, as if to pace with you,
as if to mimic my anxious mind races.
And those we can ease as well, our anxious minds.
And maybe that will fix enough.
It won't even feel like fixing
because we just might forget that we were ever broken
A rung is spaced between two bars around 18 inches apart
each foot 12 in height one on top of the other around is a step
This step I run
As I climb up, up, up I stand On high
On a ladder if I fall
While I will I descend to the ground or will I Rise and fly off this ladder
I climb

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr © 2021
Bits and bites, that’s how it goes,
I make the steps, the rest to follow
I make them right, and so it goes,
I make them crooked, and dark it goes,
The wrath of a lead, then will follow,
Bits and bites, they got to be right,
To get to the light, of each step taken,
And what’s born, of those that follow,
It’s the curse of a lead, it got to be right,
It got to be right, and so it should go
To reach the limit of the world,
in one step you achieve ...!
To reach infinity, neither
the universe is enough ...!

Degrees of freedom…
a chance for control
The will to measure
—what choices extoll
(Rosemont Pennsylvania: January, 2020)
There's a place I love to walk along
that brings along a breeze in the air
as your feet in the sand leaves its mark
so thrilling having this place so rare
On Bonnie Scotland's country of Ayrshire
at Irvine's beach park on the west coast
looking back over the hilly slopes behind
such a picture of inspiration one can boast
One watches the waves roll in
so fully transforming upon the mind
the ripples of water so soothing
makes your pen move to be signed
Standing watching dogs have fun
splashing among the waters blue
matching the beautiful sky above
a picture indeed looks brand new
Memories of this keep me going
when in bleak winter can't get there
lifts your spirit makes one's ink flow
gives one's writing an added flair
(Writing on my favourite inspirational place to visit uplifting my spirits and give me the needed direction to write with heavenly guidance.)
With each step that I take,
words jostle and form
Inside me they cluster
deep down where it’s warm
At nighttime they visit
in moments of peace
Defining my feelings
—extending my reach
(Las Vegas Nevada: January, 2019)
Oh, as I travel
I marvel on
Each step taken
I walk on
Stepping in the light
Holding each breath
Exhaling/inhaling
My journey long
As I just walk on
