Poetry is the time honoured way of capturing vision and the thoughts of mind and heart throughout history. It also has become the author's tool of exploration just as wooden ships were in the past. Poet Paul Farrugia's unfathomable ocean of discovery is the emotion of heart, love and vision of mind. He searched in the mundane drudgery of everyday life, from the highs of love's peaks to desolation of self, in the windswept desert of lioness and everything in between. These are the familiar landscapes that all traverse in life, the very core of who they are inside.
Poetry of the Mind showcases a stunning collection of poems that entice the mind and provoke one's thoughts about the intricacies of life. It is an expression of feelings deep within one's heart. The poems are a spectacular blend of hope, longing, sorrow, dreams, joy and the power of love. At some point, they evoke nostalgia, melancholy and sentiments. Others do not only stir emotions but also encourage the readers to looks around them and appreciate what they see. Farrugia believes that his poetry is a reflection of what he sees through the lens of himself. He uses this as a vessel that sails upon the waters of life, explore new territories, oceans and look to the heavens.
From the perfect words to convey one's longing of solitude, learning the essence of time to the search of wisdom and remembering a love that never dies, Paul Farrugia has every poem for everyone. He explored love poetries, the profound sadness and frustrations of life to its simple joys. He shows that anyone who lives is not immune to life's twists. His insights about life and the world around him are truly imbedded in his poems. As an artist, he observes, and then with creative flair, he applies his visions to the canvass which is life. He creates and captures what he sees, and it is up to the readers to resonate with what he envisioned.
The nature of humanity and the emotions and experiences did not really differ from the past. Today, people might seek solitude, time to reflect frantic rush from the zeolotry of money-making pressures. Poetry of the Mind rekindles the desire for a quiet place to relax, refocus and reflect. It will inspire readers and let them see how beautiful it is when the mind and heart works in perfect harmony amidst a poetic society.
