This collection of poems is written in simple and lucid language, without compromising on cadence and rhythm. I was surprised to catch myself in a contemplative mood, without realising that an hour had gone by and I was still in the first section of the book.
The poetry is disguised as "elementary, " but it is really "elemental, " making the divine visible through the mundane and ordinary.
These are really prayers that invite the reader to engage humbly and honestly with the Creator.
In an age of complexity this collection is also a welcome departure from current trends in poetry.
The simple childlike relationship the poet enjoys with his Creator is described with skilful, elegant choice of words.The titles of the poem are striking , evoking curiosity as you are drawn in to participate in the poet's own spritual journey.
Each poem from this set seems to have germinated from a place of quiet stillness, revealing the deep wisdom born out of conversations with the Maker. The beautiful poems speak of the inadequacies of humans and the spiritual thirst which is truly satiated only by an audience with the Infinite. It is a true labour of love by an accomplished wordsmith. Strongly recommended!
Each poem is a prayer
Sometimes we don’t know how to express our innermost thoughts to God in prayer. He does it with such simplicity . It’s a must read for those like me who struggle to find words while praying to God.
