The awakening poems in this collection transport the reader to a world of wonder, where wisdom drops from the tongue like honey. These poems unlock the mind to the eternal, like alchemical keys to the doors of awareness. They show how to live a better world, in harmony with nature and each other. Edward has woven deep words into worlds where we can be free. The delightful wordplay and profound insights stimulate the mind, spirit and soul, facilitating a mind-opening and heart-opening mystical experience.
Edward's previous poetry books: Tree Poghams: Poems Inspired by the Wisdom of the Ancient Ogham Tree Alphabet and Deep in the Heart of Nature met with acclaim as they inspired people's hearts to open to the wise wonders of nature. He's back, this time he's got something to say, and he says it beautifully. His latest collection is awakening and prophetic, while retaining his signature mysticism, philosophy, psychology and nature-based wisdom.

The poems in this volume foresee and facilitate the awakening of society from dogmatic slumber into a beautiful world where all is one family. A timely guidebook for the journey on a path with heart, facilitating a return to our true selves, recognising the magic of nature. Edward's visionary poetry takes the reader on a magical journey into the mystic, where we see another world is not only possible, but being born in us. The profound insights woven into these poems can liberate the mind from the ordinary and introduce us to a new way of seeing. Here nature is not something to relate to, but an intimate, intelligent part of us.
