Crossing a Bridge Over Trouble Waters: A Collection Of Contemporary Poems Spiritual, Brain Teasers, Relationships, Personal, Enlightenment

Rate this book
Crossing a Bridge over Troubled Is a collection of contemporary poems for poetry lovers and enthusiasts that deals with spirituality, relationships, intellectual prowess, and enlightenment. It shares my beliefs that poetry is the purest form of communication, and it examines the influence of spirituality in our lives.



In these tumultuous times of pervasiveness and evilness that encompass mankind, I truly believe that spirituality is the saving grace for mankind's existence.



Furthermore, it is my intent to awaken social consciousness through my poetry, which encourages self-introspection and initiates dialogue for racial equality, love, and peace that epitomize our commonalities for the betterment of humanity.

Crossing a Bridge over Troubled Water is a powerful and reflective collection of contemporary poetry that touches the soul. Edward Hayes masterfully weaves themes of spirituality, introspection, and social consciousness into each verse, creating a body of work that feels both timely and timeless.

What I appreciated most about this collection was its bold sincerity. Hayes doesn’t shy away from addressing the darker sides of human experience—evil, inequality, and division—but he does so with a voice that is hopeful, wise, and rooted in a deep belief that spirituality can be a guiding light. The poems challenge readers to reflect inwardly, to consider their place in the world, and to engage in the kind of self-awareness that leads to growth and compassion.

The rhythm and language are accessible yet profound, making the book an engaging read whether you’re a seasoned poetry enthusiast or just starting to explore the genre. There’s a strong intellectual current throughout, but it never overpowers the emotional resonance.

In a world that often feels divided, Crossing a Bridge over Troubled Water reminds us of our shared humanity—and that love, peace, and enlightenment are not only possible, but necessary.

Highly recommended for readers seeking meaningful, thought-provoking poetry with a purpose.
