Wakes of Joy: poems

"Wakes of Joy" is a lyrical meditation on presence, surrender, and joy - an ode to the miracle of being alive. Inspired by the teachings of Gangaji and rooted in the silence of Ramana Maharshi, these poems explore the ripples of insight that arise from stillness, much like the wake left behind in water - evidence of movement, yet ultimately dissolving into vastness. Through vivid and tender reflections, this collection invites the reader to pause, notice, and celebrate - to find wonder in the warmth of sunlight, the song of birds, the cool hush of dawn. More than just a personal journey, "Wakes of Joy" pulses with the shared experience of all of us. These poems are offered in the hope of awakening a quiet recognition - a remembering of joy, always present, always waiting to be seen.
