Poetic Tour Inspired by Ancient Spirits

Oshun originated in Africa where she is known as the goddess of fresh water and love. She possesses varied attributes and is worshipped in Brazil, Cuba and Haiti. She is associated with money in Puerto Rico, where her symbol is a pumpkin. ~pg. 13 Inspired by selected goddesses from world cultures, Oneil A. Williams has organized his poems of remembrance, longing, intimacy and wonder in seven chapters. He begins this collection with eternal questions addressing deep human concerns we can all instantly relate to. The unique organizations allows the reader to relate to the specific emotions and desires inspired by the goddesses of life, love, spirituality, nature, immortality, memory and cross-roads. In the second chapter Oneil A. Williams touches briefly on romantic notions, but his book is much more about a deep spirituality and at times he is having a conversation with the creator: "We cry for water. You send rain. You cry for us. We turn away." My favorite poem in the chapter on nature is "Rain." There are also humorous poems, poems about friendship and even a poem about being homeless. It's often hard to verbalize, Just what it is to be a friend. But you will surely realize When one is with you till the end. A friend is almost always there, Through good and bad, through thick and thin, And even when you cease to care, A friend will give you faith again. Throughout this work, the influences of Oneil A. Williams' travel experiences and enchantment with language is very apparent. He shows a deep insight into the conflicts life presents and his heart beats in his poems as he explores what it means to be human and what it means to love and to understand the world around him. "Enunciate. Don't hesitate. Incorporate the cause." In "The Kaleidoscope of Color," Oneil A. Williams celebrates his love for life, his passions and his connection with the creator. ~TheRebeccaReview.com

A book of unity, peace and coming together, Bravo!

Genre: Inspirational/Poetry Title: The Kaleidoscope of Color Author: Oneil.A. Williams A Kaleidoscope is only complete if it has a myriad of colors. Without this, it is not a kaleidoscope. Intro: The Kaleidoscope of Color Author and poet, Oneil Williams invites readers to embrace their gifts and joys through the glory of language and this book is truly a gift. Passionate and sensual each page is thought provoking and inspiring. From the inclusion of the ancient spirit Goddesses, the magnificent illustrations and photographs to the profound and mystifying words of the poet, this book is one readers will return to over and over again. This reviewer's particular favorite is The Butterfly Garden Amidst the sweet smell of flowers Lies a garden of dreams Where hope and inspiration take flight And the world is at peace. In this garden, there is radiant sunshine; Solitude is as revered as the air we breathe. This is the Butterfly Garden........ A book of unity, peace and the coming together of all peoples, the melding and blending of all of the colors of the universe into a Kaleidoscope of Color. Highly recommended by Allbooks Reviews. This book will remain in the reviewer's personal collection as a sign of hope for world peace and unity at last. Kudos to the author!
