About this listen

Take Five is a powerful invitation to pause and rise. These poems confront life’s uphill battles and elephant-sized troubles with unflinching courage, while reflecting on the quiet strength found in prayer, meditation, and love.

Through vivid imagery of forests, storms, and the lotus blooming in mud, the collection inspires readers to see resilience not as survival alone, but as transformation. Each verse is both a rallying cry and a moment of stillness—a reminder that the heart remembers how to endure, and how to rise again.

Bold yet contemplative, Take Five is a lyrical companion for anyone seeking hope in hardship and light in shadow.
