Songs of the Lesser Servants

The poems in this book depict the conflict betweenthe secular-commercial and inner-spiritual views of life. In many poems the spiritual world interruptsthe daily round of life flowing into consciousness, bringing harmony and an aweof the divine. Other times the poemsportray lawlessness and distortion that make human life grotesque. Rather than teaching lessons, the poemsdescribe how modern society has lost touch with spiritual truths. As an obsession with the material andsecular way grows, a beautiful harmony yields to conflict; the divine andprofane vie for attention. Only arenewal of traditional faith restores the spiritual.

Poetrys rhythms relay the inner sights. The reader hears the words in his or her ownvoice, suddenly glimpsing the spiritual world, which departs the scene havingstirred the inner experience that often in modern life is fading.

The spiritual is ageless. But the material quickly dissolves exacting a toll upon the agethat surrenders the eternal dimension.
