The spirit of Thy light,
lives inside my body.
Surrounding me in love,
love I can give away.
I am learning daily.
Heart Gentle, Eye Mindful
On a quest
of eternity’s profoundly puzzling
silence…
Passing uncounted glorious galaxies
On a flight finding
Discoveries
in outer-space’s still expanding
Possibilities —
with dimensions unfolding
out of infinity’s appearing
at first sight, essentially empty…
But, be still and listen…
It is written,
“Faith is the substance
of things hoped for,
the evidence of things unseen…”
And believe how
from the all of non-existence,
preceding even the light and darkness…
To will creation
from the surrounding oblivion,
God rose
— with His heart gentle,
eye mindful,
and soul seeking —
To issue
The genesis of All
Life
In His image
with
The first breath/the first word…
for the contest Heart Gentle, Eye Mindful,
sponsor Unseeking Seeker
Drifting,under the moonlight,
Out, of darkness has come a great light.
The wind is guiding the way,
As, the boat no longers sways.
The roar of the waves are in silence.
For, the soul is clinging to the true Living alliance.
good morning
below are two entries
I have not forgotten any and all
responses that I need to reply to for
"goddess of all waters" and under a star"
I thank you for your continued patience
I have the utmost respect for each of you and your work
thank you and I will see you soon on your pages
may this day find you all well
I am beyond behind...
"surrounding grace"
let it be said
we enter the world
with love and light
let it be written
for us to understand
blessings from above
let it be done
we continue this path
for grace to surround

"the dream"
the dream begins
there lies a dream filled with color and light
I wait for the day we meet face to face
my search and quest will never fade or die
patiently I will forever hope and believe
the dream awaits
for my wanted ambitions I will achieve
the glory of life will transform like a butterfly
when this happens darkness will then erase
my soul can finally take a soaring flight
the dream remains
tomorrow the dream at last will come true
nevermore with color and light will I be blue
the dream will be

Surrounding Sky
Only you, know the sounds of oars
in the starlit summer lake.
The moonlit waters, when the heavens
your hearts did suddenly take.
Those most tender soft kisses that
were innocent bound.
Whilst an unknown bird, flew over the
bow, not making one sound.
A picture in time, that God fashioned
just for you.
An eternal, summers’ portrait that was
created for only you to view.

~Dedicated to Jim and Maggie~
priest were surrounding
sermon had been astounding
so clearly sounding
always stimulate
we knew that it would be great
to hear can hardly wait
sermon heard by God
which He would give it His nod
sins by Him were shod
we would talk the talk
while God will walk the walk
my sins stoutly stalk
really was needing
tune in to Bible reading
way God was leading
outside did rain and rain
when we sang a sweet refrain
sounded so profane
had heard loud and clear
when God has been close and near
sins do disappear
on field leg did break
me go to church God would make
communion will take

Cat Tale
————————————————-
Matt Cat sat…so
Still, sat nobly
Tall, statue strong…
Except for his tail
Smacking: swat-swat!
At the guiltless floor,
First to the right, then To the left. Repeat!
.So striking was Matt’s
Alert act, anticipating
Any hint of motion in
His surrounding void.
Thus, Matt sat
Of a silent, waiting Stance and
Quickening heart…
But, since he’d
Flung off his purr;
Sensed little to gain
In an insufficient
“Meee-ow!” or wail;
There remained just
His tail to bear
The burden,
and betray
His slipping, usually
Impassive peace.
Matt Cat was bored…
And
Racing in place…
Away!

Thanks be to Godf
You"ll never come back
to be what you were,
because you were never...
You'll never have
what you wish,
because you wish
much further, always...
You will never be
what you wish to be,
never without knowing
who you actually are... !
The gleaming flowers,
For us, shimmering towers,
Hugs, in a love bower.
Angelic presence,
Surely, twas heavenly sent,
Knew what your eyes meant.

Darkness, ominous.
Threatening clouds, lightning aglow.
God's mystery show.

Surrounding shores, seas
Supporting sparking stars
Speaking stunning secrets

Eloquent streaming waters
Aqua Pearl ripples covers
As the wind kisses so mutters
Erodes embankment covers
Meadowlarks and Honeybees
Springs essence so surrounds me
On breezes through the lee's
Nature soul callings be

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr 2020
Darkness surrounding
The darkness it seems
That plague that kills our dreams
The depression surrounding our souls
That feeling of never being whole
The darkness is all around
That same noise that doesn’t make a sound
The thoughts in your head
That make you wish and hope you were dead
The rain was beautiful
That dream was real
The darkness took control
That pill just had to seal the deal
The past is over
That familiar sound hovers
The future isn’t near
That death depression is my fear
The darkness surrounding
That feeling is channeling
The darkness has won
That soul is now gone.
A lonely time of self-loathing losses
I am all alone, all by myself
But I want for nothing
For u have in my life great wealth.
But I am lonely, & i long to seek
Someone elses companionship
In these times I feel so bleak.
For ive become, glued to a bitter past
From stones thrown in lifes hurdles
In times in errors that were cast.
I'm at a standstill in my presence of life
I can see no exit
From this dark time of upheavals strife.
My mind is clouded over in thought
Of much disillusion
In which my sad times have brought.
But I must stand strong & venture on
And travel onwards if im to reap rewards
For the path of life that's past & gone.
So now I make a healthy choice
& i pray that God shall in prayer
He will hear my voice.
And rewards will be reaped by what was sown
In a lifetime of achievements
Along with the sadNess also known.

Is consciousness God…
his church the sublime
As we look incorrectly,
ever hoping to find
His very existence,
the womb that enwraps
Surrounding our being
—all sentience trapped
