Reviewing Colours of Silence a collection by poet Rashmit Kalra

| Colours-Silence-Rashmit-Kalra-ebook |
Heart, mind and soul has been poured into
the poetry of Rashmit’s enriching “Colours of Silence” book, and added with the
essence of love. Wearing her heart on the sheets the readers can feel the
vibrations of the poignant penned works, ranging from her own search to the
meaning of life; spiritual connection to humanity, the creator and all creation;
and her thoughts on pain, loss and end of life. Divided into two sections
Glimpses of Self and Whispers of Life these verses have words, phrases and
paradoxes that all beings can relate to. Selfish and egotistical are what
authors and writers are described as by eminent authors themselves, yet when
reading the Glimpses of Self, themes of oneness with others, the view of
nothingness of all creation and the unpretentiousness thought of meaningless
labels in the Divine Glimpses polarize the self-centered belief about authors
like Rashmit. The Whispers of Life section paints the colours of nature,
celebrates the beauty of life and has a calming effect to silence the mind of
fear and embrace the flow.
The power in her words spoke to me
throughout the book, however some poems resonated strongly such as Be Who You
Are. In this poem like Wordsworth she uses nature for comparison and the
speaking flower as the teacher, the dramatic use was highly intelligent, the
poem endearing to me. Followed by I Am Not, I can feel the higher self in her
writing here. In Dawn of Peace this piece has answers for people and for myself
in particular whilst searching on this journey of life. I Wonder Why another
poem for questions on life, with the imagery and philosophy she uses I am left
wondering why in life I battle to break the chains of limitation.
God’s of Hospital is an emotionally thought
provoking poem whereas others motivate you to follow your dream and let life
flow like a river no matter where you are at. “And long after I’m gone the
earth will whisper my song” are most encouraging words she has for world
travellers experiencing the fate of pain and problems in this realm. Almost as
if reading a spiritual novel the ending poems are fitting for closure, with
titles such as End of The Day and This Is It.
After reading, re-reading, and reflecting on
Kalra’s perspectives in life and feeling the love she has for life in all of
its creation, and being moved by a well written book I’d recommend poetry
lovers to grab a copy of this book. Colours of Silence can certainly serve as
an inspirational tool for people to live and let live as we appreciate the
other, which is reflected in ourselves. The books natural flow makes good
reading as effortlessly you are intrigued to read more, to muse, appreciate and
celebrate the gift of life. I hope Kalra continues to produce more colourful
works, the meaningful and mystical of peaceful silence.
