“Jesus My Enternity”
Banished away from freedom,
From arms to waist chains shackled,
My feet plastered onto a land of shadows,
Stranded inside a grieving landscape,
My heart cold, spiritually devastated.
I look up to the sky, sea-birds that resemble
the faces of angels, wings fluttering
through clouds of angelic mystery.
A tranquil silence appears, I hear your name
calling out to me; My sweet endearing
lord that rules the infinite sky,
eternity begins to speak to me,
where blue skies become oceans shifting
the strands of a billion winds,
eradicate me from the darkness,
an inner-light in me presents
fires of rage sparked by
hurricane thunder,
I hear yout name again, calling
out to me!
Through the lonely shallows
that taint my soul,
I keep hearing you call out to me!
stating: “My dear Son Raymond,
it is I that loves you,
I could never let you go!”
“My Dear Lord Jesus, I have suffered for
so long, through a painful life
of blasphemy, cursing my own
blessed grounds, living a chaotic
life of self- calamity.”
Dear Lord Jesus, “could you please save my
soul”? Beyond the polarized tillers
that trouble me so tragically.
My Lord of eternity, come back to me,
without ever letting me go.

Love – For love or money.
Obdurate – Hardened in wrongdoing or wickedness.
Rap – A sentence to serve time in prison.
Yackety-yak – Prolonged, sometimes senseless talk.
Delusion – A conception or image created by the imagination and having no objective reality.
