Shades of Resilience
About this ebook
The unprecedented loss and sorrow that mankind underwent in recent times has been revelatory. It exposed us to the common language of human emotion which is not limited by geography and varied climes. As humanity we buffeted the fury of the Pandemic and emerged more resilient with hearts full of gratitude and benignity.
The poems in this collection are dedicated to the spirit that keeps the human race together, in its onward journey towards fellow feelings, coexistence and camaraderie.
The language of the poems by Dr. Ray in her own words is:
The language of the clouds, in conflict with each other and their language of peace:
The signs and the symbols that the sun throws around on herbs, shrubs, bushes, and trees:
How it whispers sweet nothings to the moon, coy and shy,
Evoking a response of love soaked in his eyes:
playing like lovers hide and seek longing to end in each other’s arms:
So much in love,
Everyday a Valentine......
That would be the language of my poems....
Rushing from my “nib”
