Announcing
When Silence Speaks:
Messages from the Heart
Reading the mystic poetry in When Silence Speaks: Messages from the Heart is like the best friend you haven’t seen in years entering through the front door of your soul. Each poem approaches surrender from a different angle, shepherding you to surrender as you embrace these transcendent poems, like the scent of roses, into your Heart.
Experiences are played with, spun on a prayer wheel of words, revealing a deeper, truer purpose, and unraveling the sacred mystery of life. Reading this collection is like hearing the whispers of a loved one and feeling the gentle touch of their nurturing hand on your shoulder as you sit together in silence, without any need for words to know each other’s Heart, to hear each other’s prayers. These poems are that close, guiding you to discover the inherent Divinity within your humanity.
