By Sonia Iris Lozada

n FOLLOW, Akashic Dreaming through Time, a poetry picture book, Sonia Iris Lozada captures the essence of many lifetimes through meditations and dreams. Every stanza emulates the traveling soul’s history. The individuals’ experiences from anger to forgiveness and acceptance which guides us home.

First stanza:

Fire burns tall in the kiln. Hues sway of saffron, cardinal, amber with hints of cobalt mesmerize as the salty drops from forehead—stings eyes. Hands bleed from the dryness of yellow clay creating blood henna. Craft soldiers for Emperor Qin Shi Huang—molding soldier’s figure, carve fine details. Body aches from laboring days, thoughts of children playing, yearning family. Outside the screams of whips upon the skin of convicts in this blistering purgatory. Death visited before thirty-eight years, my handmade tile—tombstone. Ask and it shall be given—silence. Yet, I followed.
