It’s better to take a giant leap
and fail
Than to forever build castles
— on the ledge
(Dreamsleep: April, 2026)
look at your surroundings
everything's beautiful
when you acknowledge God in it
creations ever fabulous
in Christ
All things are ever prefect
In all under standing you must
revelationalize
Keep your eyes on the prize
Alleluia
Oh, and the prize what's left is
our breath
separates anxiety
look at your surroundings
everything's beautiful
when you acknowledge God in it
creations ever fabulous
in Christ
relax stop take a breath, take a step
enjoy Christ
All things are ever perfect in Him
revelationalize
Keep your eyes on the prize
Alleluia
Oh, and the prize what's left is
our breath
separates anxiety

Written words by James Edward Lee Sr.2020©
My head feels light because of the world
My chest feels tight because of the world
My muscle aches because of the world
My Heart beats fast because of the world
I Take a Breath
The World feels open and instead holds me
The World feels relaxed when I release
The World feels solid and it takes care of me
The World feels at ease and it heals me
I Take a Breath
My words can not reach beyond the Glass
My words are empty like a shatter Glass
My words are sharp like broken Glass
My words are fragments that makes Glass
I Take a Breath
Make Glass to see, not to speak through
Make Glass to reflect all, all is not empty
Make Glass fill with means then it is not broken
Make Glass that has no cracks it be solid
I Take a Breath
The Simpless things done is a days work
The Simpless things stand with nature
The Simpless things are not so Hard
The Simpless things are at peace
I Take a Breath
Work done right we do not need to do it again
Nature that is un-harmed is a Seven Wonder
Hard is always followed by things easy
Peace is a Life time of love, care, and nurture
I Take a Breath!
Puff puff pass away the pain,
Puff puff pass around the pleasure,
Puff puff pass away our brains,
Puff puff pass whatever weather,
Puff puff pass because the good,
Puff puff pass because the bad,
Puff puff pass because of all the stuff we wish we had,
Puff puff pass till dusk,
Then puff puff pass till dawn,
Puff puff pass so long you can’t help but yawn,
I’ve puff puff passed so much I started to forget how to care,
Honestly I’ve puff puff passed so much I just breathe it in like air,
Air so sweet it could help me temporarily forget my very permanent problems:
Thoughts of guns scraping my skull through my brain,
Take a breath
Thoughts of open car doors on fast highways,
Take a breath
Rope burn around my neck,
Take a breath.
With him sick and family all around I didn’t get to breathe very often, those two weeks that’s all I wanted to do so I could stop the pain or at least make it soften.
I remember walking down the bright hospital hallway to his room only to learn of his death, I knew it wouldn’t bring him back but the fire might freeze the grief so the night my Dad died,
I took a breath.
draw in many breaths
pure crisp cotton snowy air
jagged peaks beckon
snare young and old to challenge
death defying runs of ice
Life is slipping out of my hand. You're making things more difficult then they seem,
the words you speak are only vocabulary while the actions you do are only half of what you speak.
Life is simple but in some terms you have to let it go. Life goes by so fast. What if in a blink of a eye,
you miss everything and the world just past by? Enjoy all the good times, the sad times because thats
what makes life so beautiful. even though you're still young and cant find the piece of the puzzle you're
missing. You have a long way ahead of you, just slow down and be patient, the future is coming,
so let it go, all your problems and situations, let it go because a few years down the road the things
you are going through now will be nothing but a masquerading memory
Sit back
Take a breath
Let it roll on by
Sit back
Take a breath
Let the feeling die
Sit back
Take a breath
Dont start a fight
Sit back
Take a breath
Dont hold the love inside
