Letting Go

Book Cover & Preview Text
Shadows As the days go by, and the shadows lengthen, The resolve in me somehow strengthens, Yes, I do miss you, In every deed and thought, Your presence is always there, Your smile, the quiet serenity of you, Am I trapped forever in the shadows, The sun, the moon, the stars, yes they shine, But for me the shadows are where I dwell, Waiting eternally for the sound of your swell, It seems but yesterday that all was well, But, now each day is darkness, Morning and dusk, mingle with the night, Did I wish for that smile, To light up the world awhile, That's not the way of life, Shadows of thoughts are all that survive.

About the Book
This book of verse is about the tumultuous journey called life. Some of the poems reflect the shadows that are capable of plunging one into a deep abyss of pain. It is easy to lose our way in the dark of Life's fiercest storms. The compulsions of fate make it impossible to see the silver lining. But Courage and Conviction shelter us through the worst. Each step, difficult as it may be, moves us forward. Eventually, as the sun emerges from the storm, a survivor emerges, a victor is born! These poems are an ode to those feelings, which help us to overcome, to find the innate strength within, and to move on, towards freedom and liberation. This book may strike a chord within you, helping you to move forward with faith and see the silver lining amidst all the odds of life.
About the Author
The author is a medical professional whose high pressure job leaves time for little else. This is her first foray into the realm of writing. Through verse, she chronicles her emotional exuberance finding echo in Nature be it the cooing of a pigeon, the fragility of a beautiful butterfly and the disappearing sparrows as against an inner angst representing the turmoil of life, the sickness and the suffering. The book outlines the inter connectedness between the two as she traces a journey from grieving to healing and a realisation of a freedom that was always hers begin with, but just required an inner exploration and a sense of peace.
