Long after I vanished into the dark deep ocean
Snared by prickly seaweeds, grazing on my skin
I was too deep under the sea so blue and lucent
Heated by the sun and the carol of the marine
Corals so bedazzling, flying fishes dancing
Ravishing illusions compelled me deeper into the sea
Yet I knew nothing of what was waiting
Then I realized I was trapped in darkness solely
I thunderously screamed but no one’s listening
Long after I lived in this vague universe
Pleased and blinded by the world
Passion and desire of the living flesh
Intoxicating drugs, ferocious gin that hold
Extraordinary satisfaction
Yet,
There is an empty space inside aching to be filled
There is a candle demanding to be ignited
I’m yearning ti leave this spurious life
I know I’m left alone to strife
I ponder in my restlessness
I’m weary of living without Your presence
Yahweh, Jesus, Allah!
At the top of my lungs I scream
I’m dying to find You
Where are You? Give me a clue
Is it Jerusalem? Nepal? Or Timbuktu?
Is it Mars? Jupiter? Or Andromeda?
You’re out of reach, so out of sight
Hence fill my emptiness with Your light
Show me Your absolute relish
Then I won’t grieve for the day I shall perish
