Lovesongs For The Soul
A Spiritual Journey
by
Book Cover & Preview Text
Time and again,
A merry whistler wandering-
Far and wide
His song to sing.
A root,
A tree,
A bud,
A blossom-
And a heart
Given whole
To the moon.
She found him by the sea,
And left him on a mountain,
And returned to find
The lingering fragrance
Of a smile.
Beyond thought
Or conjecture,
Beyond the borders
Built by words-
A little while,
Stay
In this heartland-
And silence may return us
To the true home
We have known
Was there
All along.

About the Book
These poetical offerings are spiritual love songs for the soul. They could be received as the universe herself, singing to her daughter, the soul. Emerging from the depths of daily meditation practice, each poem is an expression of that day’s insight.
It is the heartfelt wish of author Don V. Lax that the words inscribed within this book inspire and encourage the reader on his or her own path of awakening.
A companion CD of original compositions by Don V Lax, to accompany the reading of these poems, is available at:

About the Author
Don V. Lax has been playing music and writing poetry since the age of five. During a childhood spent travelling and living in India, Pakistan, France, Italy, and the United States, he was exposed to and opened by the spiritual traditions of many cultures.
Many years of immersion in the deep practices of Tantra, Hinduism, Buddhism, Sufism, and Mystical Christianity have led to a synthesis within himself, culminating over the past fifteen years on Maui with the Diamond Approach of A.H. Almaas.
A professional violinist, Don has always shared his musical spirit with the world. He has recorded numerous albums with many great musicians in multiple genres and performed with everything from Middle Eastern musicians to symphony orchestras and major rock bands. The poetry has been a more intimate expression of the heart and soul, shared with close friends, lovers, and family. An exploration of deeper realms of personal and universal spiritual healing, with daily meditation and expression through poetry, has led to the creation of this book.
