After reading all his works and critically reading his collection of poetry I can say that his poetry can be compared to that of John Keats and William Blake. Reading the Epilogue of this book, will give you a glimpse of the poetic mind of the poet Theodore. Hope that he continues to write poetry till the end of his life. His contribution shall always be for the mind of those who search for the truth. Going beyond the limits of institutionalised religions, he seeks the truth and it gives a sense of the mystery to all his writings. It attracts me and gives me a sense of satisfaction. He asks the reader? 'Does a raindrop find itself when it falls in the river? Are you really present to the life you have?'On the paths mildly lighted by angels, I walk along to see at the end, light pure'. That is exactly his life. He lives in a world of dreams and in his own world of ideas. He can love like a child and smile like a child. Simplicity to the core is his way. 'I built a golden tent and called all my friends of nature to come and rejoice with me like little lambs'. The gift of imagination is his great strength. In his ordinary talks, or prepared lectures or preaching in his churches, he dances with the steps of a fairy. He writes again: 'perceive the soul of beauty in you, sustain the imaginative perceptions and wonder like a child'.To understand his poetry, one has to sit and think and get the meaning of the symbols he uses. There is always a mystical philosophy in his mind. The naked observation of nature, dealing with myths, visionary ideas, romantic ideals, faith in the divine power, the dignity of natural man and woman, spirit and compassion.., all that, you can read here in this bouquet of poems. Professor Rudolf Rohr.'These are poems of depth with imaginative power and quality. It is a joy for the mind'. Jain Jordan.'It is lyrical and inspiring. He draws from the great wisdom traditions, and leads his ideas into a culmination of ecstasy'. Michelle Godson'It is an ecstasy of true romance, a romance of the soul with the God of love'. Jeremiah Rosenthal'Passion, romance, God and nature, life and its pains, innocence and beauty are the constant themes of this poetry'. It is like the songs of a morning bird singing in your soul.
