Poems Along the Way of Truth

About the Book

This body of poetry continues the work begun in book one. Poetic meditations such as "Memories of God", "Imagine" and "Breath Speaks" found in chapter one, "Contemplations" awaken the majestic transcendence of the inner winds, which carry the attention inwardly, toward the clear self. This sets the stage for further shifts in awareness such as "The Eternal Beyond" and "Dimensional Concurrence" in chapter two, "Dimensions". Explorations of dreams, love, prayers and the beauty of nature are all meant to resonate those inner frequencies that radiate the beauty and majesty of soul and the beyond.

The truth transcendent, the witness of God's love can be seen as both the inspiration and aspiration of this work. The mystical self as witness is a recurring theme in many of the poems as illustrated by this verse from "The Eternal Beyond":

"I without form doth move through the formed
Formless Self with eyes of witness
Move I through the void between born
When curtains on awareness cease to exist."

It is hoped, and it is intended that the poetic meters of this collection of poems, help give the glimpses of the "between born".
