GREAT MADNESS OF LOVE

                              I

The madness of love of the Lord can’t be expressed,

I can only feel it like a treasured sensation.

II

Yesterday in the morning while everybody slept,

My heart rejoiced in melodious harmony.

III

The fragrant smell of the clear sky,

We enjoyed with longing the delight in the Lord.

IV

We traveled through the heavenly realms,

Longing to be united with the Lord.

V

I don’t attach myself to the joys of this world,

I rather take my thoughts to a deeper level.

VI

All I think about the Lord,
 they become lovely sonnets of love.

VII

The thoughts that the Lord gives us are all pretty,

They are in the spice of life and we fully enjoy them.

VIII

Father God, I want to write you more sonnets,

Don’t stop my words because I want to tell you are lovely.

IX

Father God, your friendship is so beautiful,

but I don’t know how to express this ocean of joy.

X

With this great love I place myself in your presence,

Don’t leave us behind Father God, take us with you into eternity.

  Sincerely,

                   Jose Joaquin Agudelo
