This is the voice of an indomitable human spirit in battle with the external forces of this life and the internal enemies of its soul. It is a tedious journey, through deep waters, dark valleys and on to the victorious mountain peaks of the human experience. This collection of writings and images speak to the soul of the mundane and the divine. Its universal cry penetrates the boundaries of race, culture, sex and religion. It is a voice that speaks to humankind in their crisis and challenges. It is a voice that speaks to the souls of men, in search of Self and their Creator.

Songs Of The Silence is a collection of inspirational poetry for all those travelling the spiritual path. Penned by Irish writer-poet, Dylan Morrison, the diverse poems draw on the rich imagery of the Celtic literary tradition and its ability toperceive the Divine behind the backdrop of the Natural world. Flowing from the subconscious spring of his own roller-coaster pilgrimage, Morrison's verse ignites a deep desire for Divine encounter; an encounter that he believes is available to all.If you're a lover of poetry or simply someone tired of philosophical mind games and theological dogma, then Songs Of The Silence may just be the book for you.
