Dr Joy Philippou MBE in ‘Meditation Poems’ brings zest and a love of life to a modern way of quiet reflection, resolving what might seem this paradox in a way that is uniquely hers.
POEM

Tiberias

Clasped within the pregnant depths,
Under echoing mauves of the twilit hills
And the bleeding rays of a molten sun,
The stagnant centuries to sunken glories cling
While palm and eucalyptus sigh
To the silent probing of an August Moon
And peace throbs gently on the shore,
With all the answers to our
“WHY?”
“WHY?”
“WHY?”
