This collection of poems is organized in four sections that depict the chronological evolution of my emotional states. Sections and poems can be read in any order at readers' preferences. The first section, entitled "Waves from Lost Connections" was inspired by the painful state of a wounded soul under the blow of the unexpected departure of a presumed life partner who, after vowing to be there for richer or for poorer, in health and in sickness, could not keep that vow. Feelings of deep unhappiness and sadness received from the vibes of lost connections are expressed here as a cathartic attempt to heal body, mind and soul. This section is especially appropriate for those with a craving for a healthy dose of melancholia for healing purposes. The second section under the title "Blossoms of Found Connections" expresses the newly found, uplifting state of the soul after it found its true missing half. Serene Feelings of a life full of hope and happiness are brought out here to celebrate the new found beatitude provided by the blossoms of found connections. This section is particularly beneficial to those who are ready to experience a rainbow of hope and happiness in the aftermath of an emotional storm. The third section entitled "Waves from Deeper Connections" is a natural extension of the previous one. Here, the ensuing journey in search of deeper connections is pursued to uplift and free the soul and spirit into higher dimensions of feelings beyond the human materialistic dimension. This section reaches further down into the body and soul connection. Section four entitled "Rays from the Inner and Outer Worlds" is most appropriate for any soul seeking to reach the profound connection withits universal essence, and an attempt to inquire into the universal laws of love, life and nature.

ABOUT THIS BOOK This book is a collection of poems in three languages: English, French and Arabic. These poems emanate from a soul's trials and tribulations in search of deeper emotional and spiritual connections. From the tight grip of matter over mind and soul, to the inquiry into the laws of love, life and nature, the poems gradually endeavor into the highest spiritual states that make one soberly reflect on the fate of the human condition through progressively deeper dives into the interactions of the soul with the body. Thus, the emotions expressed in these poems lead slowly but surely to a state of greater hope, serenity and healing to a wounded soul or an unquiet mind. A PROPOS DE CE LIVRE Ce livre est un recueil de poemes en trois langues: Anglais, Francais et Arabe. Ces poemes emanent des echecs et des victoires de l'ame dans sa recherche de profondes relations emotionnelles et spirituelles. L'etreinte de la matiere sur l'esprit et sur l'ame, et la quete sur les lois de l'amour, de la vie et de la nature, font que ces poemes s'aventurent dans les plus profonds etats emotionnels, ce qui conduit a une reflexion sobre sur le sort de la condition humaine a travers un profond regard sur les interactions de l'ame avec le corps. Ainsi, les emotions exprimees dans ce recueil conduisent lentement mais surement a un etat superieur de serenite et d'espoir pour le soin d'une ame blessee ou d'un esprit agite.
