The cover image depicts the concept of individual's place within this infinite universe. The expansive spirals represent the endless possibilities inviting the reader to contemplate his own journey through the cosmos. The timeless beauty of this surreal scene.

When you are collectively immersed in alienation, spiritual bareness, chaos and social degeneration you have bouts of disillusionment, despair, hopelessness. What do you do then ?

You just don’t do anything. Technology makes everything available at your door. Even your mind is without any destination or a driver as that part of the job would be done by simulated AI. Nowhere to go to . We are just reduced to zombies in an automated pre-programmed world. No place for desire to be in. The only way out is to resort to Music & Poetry to drive out insanity from our heads and to engage ourselves in creativity.

My first anthology of poems starts with profound statements:  “Civilization needs to be redefined” &  “God has already walked out of all known places”. A grave warning to mankind: It’s Social, Political & Religious leaders.

This anthology enables you to behold more intricate abstract visuals you have to dig out yourself.  “Midnight Resurrection”, “Hunger & peace”, “A lump of rapture”, “Pollyana”, “Borrowed words”, “The next one(1)”, “The next one(2)”, “If I am born again”, “A little unmindful God”, “One God & one septillion”, “Peace dissected”, “A minute too late”, ‘Thou naughty knave, what trade?’, “Sylvia, you were born many a time”, “The ash & the bone dust”, “Death the adumbral”, “Arrant knaves”, “If (1,2 &3)”, “The destination here you are” , “The old man & the city” , “Word at times(1&2)”, “The silent cry”, “The end is simple”, “Tiny moments”, “A visit of my own entangled self”, “Poem a tiny fireball”… similar siblings 100 Nos. The words used were spontaneous from the depth of emotion. The diversity of topics, from environmental concerns and inner reflections to societal issues and the impact of war, showcases the breadth of author’s observations and insights & morphs various themes into poetry.
