Cry of the Re-awakened Child Umvalli Lowenthal

Cry of the Re-awakened Child is a collection of poems about what ultimately matters, especially when one is searching for the meaning of living on earth in peace. It is provocative and consuming. This collection of poems will engulf you by the endearing spirit of love it expresses and will have you soaring upon the wings of joy it unfolds before you. As you embark upon this poetic journey, you will realize a sense of liberation from the anguish brought forth by hatred and will experience a joyful feeling in your soul as it pulls you out of the somberness of sorrow. I have written this book hoping that it will reveal the inner strength of each person and make them recognize the bond that exist between them and the spirit of their ancestors. I also hope as indicated below in "The Voices of Nature" that every person traveling along this poetic journey will recognize the vital role of the in-animates in their daily survival - I am the sun, The source of your warmth, I am the sky, The embodiment of your serenity, I am the land, The source of your sustenanceI am the mountain Upon which you standI am the rain, your harvestI make bountiful. I am the wind, Your burden I carry, I am the tree, Beneath my trunkA refuge you seek, I am the river, Your thirst I quenchI am a song, Your comfort I assure, I am a dance, My footprint you followIn your celebration of lifeI am an art, The expression you seeIn your horizonI am life, A part of your mysteryYet to be unfolded; So, destroy me notFor a short lived comfortI too am God force. In conclusion, "Cry of the Re-awakened Child" is also written in honor of our children, who in the face adversities have risen and touched the sky. I also hope that for those children who have yet to see the light will be comforted by this poetic journey - "Cry of The Reawakened Child"
