This is an inspirational spiritual poetry book with colour illustrations. Some of the illustrations are behind the poems which makes for a lovely effect. The poetry itself is very lyrical, lending itself to an element of song or even a hymn structure. The poems are rhythmic, many following a strong rhyme structure.
“One day my love your soul will soar
Our of the chaos you’ll fly once more
Free as a bird in your spiritual glow
Free flowing high, away you go
(Until they Listen)
The poems centre around love, hope and mental health, as you would expect from the title. The poet writes simply, encouraging the reader to connect with themselves and their own creativity. The art is cheerful, a little abstract, and has titles to link it up with its accompanying poetic piece. I felt the emotion was nice and I value the messages that the poet has used, but there is a lack of strong imagery and not much variation in pace or rhythm.
Flights of stillness into the calm of night
Allowing mind, consciousness and thought to alight
Gently now floating
On high wisdom insight
(Busy Mind)
I award 3.5 stars.
