POETIC 'PSALMS'

About the Book

“Poetic ‘Psalms’” is a collection of poetry drawn from everyday life, religion, politics, education, culture, economy and the nation. It consists of nineteen parts highlighting thoughts briefly, meditatively/religiously and purposefully too. Patterned towards knowing the deeper meaning of life, it invites the reader to drink this ‘drip of life’ which flows from the head and heart of the one who conceived, thought, brooded them.

These poetic pieces/insightful commentaries are weaved around; Hebrew biblical psalms, the timeless religious poems of the Divine Office and ancient cum contemporary ideas. They herald the appreciation of great spiritual voices of our Christian tradition and attempt to answer the cries of the human heart seeking re/union with God.
