Phoenix Rising: Soul Poetry

by Maria Weeks

Overview

Maria and Chaz have carefully peeled back the shrouds to allow others to peer beneath the surface of their philosophical thoughts in beautifully eloquent ways. This work his a product of a period of over 7 years of encounters and the ups and downs of a Phoenix igniting and crumbling, only to rise again--creating a mesmerizing balance of life and decay. This includes original art, poetry and abstractions that do not all convey beautiful serenity, but the writing does at times provide glimpses of greater inner peace after traversing a churning sea.

Below is a sample poem from the book:

"Begun

The minute we have started it’s too late.
we have become.
Instantaneously kindled
with lively light of creation
unquenchable in it’s draw.
Satiated not by complimentary awards
or solace of completed stanzas but longing
running ever deeper. A calliope of cravings
Unbound."

Enjoy and ~Namaste~
