Powerful words beautifully put together are deeply effective and can provide useful spiritual orientation. The poems in this collection resonate with an inner voice, torn between the outward worldly life that is difficult to escape and the longings deep inside that will not stay silent. Powerful words speak of deep emotion in this collection, emotion that lies below the surface but that pours out when paid attention to. These poems teach us what is so essentially human – to listen to the voice inside us. It never fails to illuminate the path for us. These poems reveal an alertness to the soul, often buried under mundane everyday life. The spiritual concerns speak of an inner apprehension, a longing for transcendence that sweeps through the heart and infuses every outward act. The human soul longs to be free so it can rise towards its Maker, and the poems capture this difficult journey very adequately. The spirituality in these poems transport the reader. The words speak of a deep sensitivity, an alertness to the voice within. There is disillusionment and pain, but there is also love and spirituality, juxtaposing the two sides of the human being. The poignant words and images created reveal an urgency to examine life and all its trappings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: #575859; font-family: merriweather-regular, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font: 15px \/ 30px merriweather-bold, serif;\"\u003eTahera Kassamali, Author, Community Advisor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #575859; font-family: merriweather-regular, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003eThe beautifully concise and magical use of language makes this anthology feel like taking a deep breath or walking through a forest.

The human soul longs to be free so it can rise towards its Maker, and the poems capture this difficult journey very adequately. The spirituality in these poems transport the reader. The words speak of a deep sensitivity, an alertness to the voice within. There is disillusionment and pain, but there is also love and spirituality, juxtaposing the two sides of the human being. The poignant words and images created reveal an urgency to examine life and all its trappings.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr style=\"box-sizing: border-box; color: #575859; font-family: merriweather-regular, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial;\"\u003e\u003cstrong style=\"box-sizing: border-box; font: 15px \/ 30px merriweather-bold, serif;\"\u003eTahera Kassamali, Author, Community Advisor\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e \u003cspan style=\"color: #575859; font-family: merriweather-regular, serif; font-size: 15px; font-style: normal; font-variant-ligatures: normal; font-variant-caps: normal; font-weight: 400; letter-spacing: normal; orphans: 2; text-align: start; text-indent: 0px; text-transform: none; white-space: normal; widows: 2; word-spacing: 0px; -webkit-text-stroke-width: 0px; background-color: #ffffff; text-decoration-style: initial; text-decoration-color: initial; display: inline !important; float: none;\"\u003eThe beautifully concise and magical use of language makes this anthology feel like taking a deep breath or walking through a forest.
