Synopsis

While The Language of Love is quite literally dedicated to conveying love and passion, the subject of this collection of powerful poems is quite surprising.

It’s you!

This new compilation of verses from Ray Buchanan uses the ancient Sufi poetic tradition to present fresh ruminations on the nature of God and spirituality. Buchanan here offers love poems of a radically different sort: they are written from the perspective and in the voice of the Creator, dedicated to his creations all over the world rather than to a physical lover. Let the love of the divine wash over you through these inspirational lines—and bring you peace.

Buchanan’s poetry reveals the full depth of the Creator’s love. God longs for oneness with every single person on this earth—and accepting this can lead us to true ecstasy. We all long for the Creator’s love, a fact we may not even realize. Not until we are faced with the fullness of God’s devotion can we understand this simple spiritual truth. Buchanan hopes his work will inspire you to open your own heart and find the ecstatic joy he feels every day as one of God’s creations.
