Pilgrimage Through the Storm by Bindiya B. Chanrai

This book will help you envision a level of self-compassion that you are not yet aware of and will guide you through transitioning the inner shadows of your life. 

Chanrai not only articulates her feelings, but she also lets readers become absorbed in them. Anyone who has ever been lost, uncertain, or introspective will resonate with the poems, which serve as quiet companions. 

Few of the sonnets that piqued me:

💖 "If I shared that nothingness is the point from 
which all joy emanates, Could you possibly shift your perception?"

Life seems almost done when a person is left with nothing. But it is a common saying that every ending has a new beginning. A person who shifts his perception from negativity to positivity can make a huge difference in his life. What matters is shifting of perception, from which all joy emanates.

💖"Self-care, self-nurture, self-love Forgiveness, release, surrender. You throw these words around with no qualms but refrain from giving any instruction."

These words must surround us but not imposed. One likes to be supported and not instructed.

💖"The ghouls of tomorrow are in their element, It seems my Beloved is on sabbatical, Which leaves me defenseless and unprotected. Alone."

A person spends most of his time wondering about the future and expects the same from his beloved. But life may throw different tantrums that are hard to face.

💖"This tender heart breaks, time and time again, Mourning the loss of dreams. Hands tightly clasped together, I whimper in your shadow, My Spirit crumbled to dust."

Our heart breaks again and again at the failure of dreams. We hold our dreams tightly, but life has some other plans and lets it shatter in dust in a blink of an eye.

Fellow Traveller, one of the collection's best poems, beautifully captures the solitude of pain. It vividly depicts the feeling of carrying anxiety around in one's stomach and highlights the battles we fight in our heads. The poem's intimate tone makes it feel very personal to the reader while still being universally relatable. 

Overall, Pilgrimage Through the Storm is an insightful and evocative read ideal for readers seeking solace in soul-searching poetry. It serves as a reminder to us that every feeling is a journey in and of itself that eventually leads to self-discovery.
