restoration – The Poetry Of J.N.R Dutton

Burned

If you play with fire, eventually you will be burned, yet sadly there are some it seems, who never learn

They keep one foot in the dark abyss, saying to themselves “I can handle this, it’s harmless” and it seems they really are convinced, lost in self delusion, confusion, heartbreaking as it is

By: J.N.R Dutton (2023)

This poem is about the dangers of addiction, the more you feed one the bigger it grows. Addiction is a devastating poison, if you are struggling with one, there is help, hope and healing, if you’re willing to seek it out.

He Writes

He writes poetry for the lonely,

for the beaten and the broken down

and he writes for those who’ve lost

their way and their peace,

to help them back

to solid ground

Cries of Broken Souls

There’s something about the cry of a broken soul

Makes you want to reach out and hold them

Yeah, and show them, in case they do not know

because maybe nobody in their life has told them

There is hope & healing, restoration

Jesus brings life & sweet salvation

He can make anyone whole

Worth Saving

This is about an old house,

run down,

With cracked spiderwebbed windows

& crumbling walls

For years left to rot

Until one day someone saw

That it was worth saving after all

By:J.N.R Dutton

We are all like the old house, we have parts of ourselves that are broken throughout our lives, and people may think they can’t be fixed, but they can.

Patience & Gentleness

She had a haunted heart

Full of heartbreak and tragedy

by the time he came along,

she was as skeptical

of Love as she could be

but with patience and gentleness

He was bound & determined to make her see

That true Love wasn’t some far fetched fantasy

By:J.N.R Dutton

Jesus Is The Way

I love to hear testimonies of hope, Love, restoration, and faith

& of how lives have been blessed, redeemed, and changed

God is still in the business of helping and healing the broken

& if you’re seeking salvation, Jesus is the way

His Love endures every day
