Hues of hope
Book Blurb:
Hues Of Hope is the collection of readers’
favorite poems from my poetry books. These poems explore the hope that lies
within our heart, hope that whispers each morning to look at the horizon, hope
that inspires us to look beyond the chaotic world and take the next step to
vanquish the fears that try to fetter us. It promises to take us to an oasis of
peace, unravels magical moments of joy, as beams of love calm our senses. It
guides us through dark alleys to show the streaks of light that shimmer through
the clouds.

Excerpt:
Emerging From Shadows
Speaking soothing syllables to myself
I try to form new words,
Words of self-solace
Words of wisdom that are forced out
That could resonate with pain...
Love is not always revered
Sensitivity is not universal
Emotions are difficult to decipher
The spotlight never shines
If you hide behind those shadows
Shadows of indifferent past
Shadows of dreary darkness
The sheen of my dreams
The delusion of my success
Faded in that shadowy existence
I convince myself to rise, to react
To push perils that glare grimly
To satiate shadows that gloat glibly
Positive light is just round the corner
The hope is beckoning bright.
I refuse to remain tied to false
promises
I would choose my own path
A path that is luminously lucent.
I need freedom from the clutches
Of guile, of hypocrisy, of servitude.
I know my journey is arduous
But I am ready for new challenges
I have abandoned fears and tears
A new life begins now.

Meet the Poet:
Balroop Singh, a former
educator always had a passion for writing. She would jot down her reflections on a piece
of paper and forget about them till each drawer of her home started overflowing
with poetic reminders, popping out at will! The world of her imagination has a
queer connection with realism. She
is a poet, a creative non-fiction writer, a relaxed blogger and a doting
grandma. She writes about people, emotions and relationships.
A self-published author, she is the poet of Sublime
Shadows of Life, Emerging From Shadows, Timeless Echoes , Moments We
Love, Magical Whispers, Slivers: Chiseled Poetry. Her latest poetry
book Hues Of Hope has just been released. She has also written
self-help books: When Success
Eludes, Emotional
Truths Of Relationships, Allow Yourself to be a Better Person.
Her poetry highlights the fact that happiness is not
a destination but a chasm to bury agony, anguish, grief, distress and move on!
No sea of solitude is so deep that it can drown us. Sometimes aspirations are
trampled upon, boulders of exploitation and discrimination may block your path
but those who tread on undeterred are always successful.
Balroop Singh has always lived through her heart. She
is a great nature lover; she loves to watch birds flying home. The sunsets
allure her with their varied hues that they lend to the sky. She can spend
endless hours listening to the rustling leaves and the sound of waterfalls. The
moonlight streaming through her garden, the flowers, the meadows, the
butterflies cast a spell on her. She lives in California.
