REFLECTIONS Rhyme and Reason by Omar H. Malik, Paperback | Indigo Chapters

This book is a sequel to the author's well-received first publication: "REFLECTIONS-mirror of my mind." In this book, he continues his exploration of the purity, serenity and tranquility of nature that, over the years, has been in slow decline due to sustained human intervention and its insatiable drive for prosperity. With the poems Four seasons, Spring, Summer, Autumn and Winter, the author beautifully captures the changing faces of nature through the seasons. Within this theme, the simplicity, purity and joy of nature are also encapsulated in poems such as Bluebells, Birdsong, Daffodil and Daybreak. Taking a more critical - but no less engaging - perspective, the overwhelming influence of machines in modern society is explored in Man and Machine, while such issues as overpopulation and pollution are evaluated in Essence of Creation and Ocean. Furthermore, the author gives us his insight into the duality of perception, conception, reason and volition in skillfully crafted Dual Core. These are but a glimpse of the many thought-provoking poems in this book, which, like anything of value, should be revisited and savoured to be truly appreciated. | REFLECTIONS Rhyme and Reason by Omar H.
