Playing Fields (A Collection of Poems, #2) (eBook, ePUB)

• Format: ePub

Produktbeschreibung

In this eclectic collection of poems we encounter spiritual, sensual, narrative, observational and political poems pertinent to our times. Very simply written, each poem takes us on a unique journey through space and time. Through the poet's own vivid imagination we are taken to forests and fields, sands and seas, but most importantly we journey into the depths of our very own being.The poems vary from very stark dark depictions of the world's current state of chaos as through the poet's point of view, to fanciful journeys created through the poet's own lucid imaginings, where everything is love and light and the impossible is made possible. Through a slow rythm and flow, sometimes sounding like a child's lullaby, we are submerged into the deepest mysteries of ourselves and our every aspect. At other times, through quite brutal, direct and often simple words cutting to the core we are challenged to think deep about the nature of ourselves and phenomena.

In the first part, The Children, we encounter the characters as they play. They are all different in appearance, age, attitude, roles in life, life experiences - unique in the human expression of their divinity. The second part, the Playing Fields describes the setting in which they play. Finally, in The End Game we are introduced to the ongoing battle between good and evil as from eons ago. The playing fields have fallen from grace and have become a hellish place to play - now it seems more than ever before. Will the children find a way to restore them to their original state, as before The Fall? And who will procure such restoration, brininging about the liberation from evil forces that coerce, control and seek to destroy not just the Children, but the Playing Fields, too? Is it possible that it could be you? The poet invites each and every one of us to begin to consider new ways of seeing and embracing new ways of being - ways which bring us closer to truth - which in turn empower rather than diminish, and heal rather than deepen the chasm of division which plagues our world today.

Read the book from cover to cover, simply browse or open randomly to be enveloped by the love that these simple verses convey. Or brace yourself for some unpleasant truths, which dance across the pages as shadows across the light. Either way, this collection of stories or observations in verse will expand your consciousness to consider novel views of reality you may not have had the courage to do before. Whether to illuminate or inform, explain or entertain these poems make excellent reading at any time of day or night.

Autorenporträt

Born to Maltese immigrants in Australia in the 1960's, Mary sailed back to Malta after her fourth birthday with her parents, leaving her grandparents behind. The abundant joy of both families reuniting was in stark contrast to the bad turn that Mary's mother mental health had taken over those years. Mary cared for her mentally ill mother till her bitter end on the 20th December 1993. It had been a harrowing journey, yet one shrouded in unconditional love transcending time and space, giving Mary a deep insight into the human condition. This is depicted in Mary's latest publication https://books2read.com/b/4EJ6QO Liberation at Last by Mary Mallia in December 2023, an epub commemorating the thirtieth anniversary of her mother's passing after having taken her own life.

In 2017 whilst visiting family in Malta, Mary started writing poetry. The poetry written and published so far has stemmed from a lifetime of soul-searching, reflecting deep spiritual experiences and self-reflection spanning decades. Mary explores themes like the meaning of life, death, suffering, injustice, abuse, light, dark, healing, empowerment and enlightenment all thrown into one.

She currently lives in South Oxfordshire where she enjoys walks in the luscious countryside and a living-room with a river view which has inspired a lot of her poetry. Writing is her passion and has been since her teens, but she also enjoys dancing, yoga, meditating, cooking, baking, entertaining and socialising. Mary is also a British Wheel of Yoga trained Yoga practitioner and teacher, as well as a healer and a spiritual guide.
