Whether your search is for a loved one, or you are searching for a feeling of happiness, you are searching for a wish to come true. Every day the search ends and every day a new search begins.A search for meaning, a search for a fuller and better life.Inordinate wealth lies at the gates of the searchers because they search with passion, integrity and honesty. Every search is miraculous.After all, the start of the search implies a belief in the power of miracles in the first place.The miracles of love and wealth and the endless poetry of life. Everything moves in its spheres with the dead certainty of minutes turning into hours into days.And one of these fine days,a day just like this one,the search may end for an even bigger search and a never-ending one. So every moment is lived like the miracle that Time is.With a sense of finality that just IS.Here and now, this is where you should be because there is a reason why the miracle just continues to give and give. The reason of these small miracles today happens to be because we are here to sample the fourth offering of Sohail Akhtar Aadil's poetry of Time, Love, Hope and the triumph of the human spirit to mould the times it lives in.Leaving a stamp of originality all its own. 'In Search of Small Miracles- poems of maturity' by Sohail Akhtar Aadil is a collection of 20 poems that deal with the everyday business of living,and living like this moment is your last. When you look at all the things we can be grateful for, the gift of storytelling in poetry is an instinct as old as Man himself.This gift is brought to the fore beautifully in this collection of poems about love and hate,loss and gain, day and night, life and death. Starting with 'A Prayer' and going through to 'Sleepy Bliss' the poems are a testimony to the power of Time as a healer,whilst 'Tears of Joy' and 'Turn Your Eyes This Way' create a mood of cherishing those moments with our loved ones snatched from destiny.'The Poet and the Magicians'is an argumentative diatribe in rhyme about the difference between the art of concealing and the art of revealing.As is 'Man v God'. The discursive nature of these few poems reveals a side to the poetry not seen before,whilst poems like 'Watching TV Together' and 'Rhyming Slang' show another side that dispenses with weighty topics and deals with wordplay and free verse. So, come, with an open mind,to 'In Search of Small Miracles' and let's search together the gift that is poetry.
