The Empowerment Mall is
pleased to introduce "Above the Waves" by Bakar O. Bey
Above the Waves is as much a personal journey as it is a
philosophy.
It is an artful spin on a man's
journey through life, tirelessly swimming the oceans in search of
paradise and love. The story treks through the hardships of sin,
lust, denial, disapproval, and heartache--into faith, spirituality,
and salvation, to ultimately realizing a personal path with infinite
possibilities. This short collection of poems is tied by the idea
that relief from the turmoil of life cannot last without a person's
resolution to act with complete conviction toward preventing
familiar hardships. Above the Waves also refers to the
ability of a man to transcend the waters and see his paradise with
complete clarity, as well as move freely between the differing
states of paradise and home, thus rendering him immune to the
nuances (waves) of everyday existence. These poems are written to
encourage a belief that in attempting the improbable, the impossible
can be attained. So I've taken the swimmer out of the water, and
introduce a man...Above the Waves.
Above the Waves: A Poetic Journey Through Personal Revelation; my
first organization of thoughts, ideas, and prayers, which
artistically outline a path to self-actualization, freedom of
expression, and love. Above the Waves is a progressive diary telling
stories of love, faith, hope, and truths not uncommon to the various
stages of human development. The book, then, counts for me as a
gift to those intent on becoming better citizens, lovers, people,
etc. A great read from a sincere and systematic author intent on
creating the changes needed for all to live happier and healthier
lives.
