In a world yearning for depth and connection, a new work emerges, not merely as a book, but as a resonant echo of the inner self. Blackbutterfly Soul Songs, the powerful new release from Author’s Tranquility Press by Rev. Dr. Queen Bessie Ifayemi Fayemi Davis Smith, is a breathtaking tapestry of poetry, narrative, and spiritual insight that guides readers on a profound journey of self-discovery and ancestral remembrance.
This is not a passive reading experience; it is an invitation to awaken. The book traces the author’s own metamorphosis, using the butterfly’s transformative journey as a central metaphor for the soul’s evolution. From the poignant "Libation" that honors the ancestors to the soul-stirring "Oriki" praise songs for spiritual guides and loved ones, each page is a step deeper into the heart of what it means to be truly alive and connected to a greater whole.
Readers will find themselves in the intimate space of a mother’s nursing home room, where the act of singing forgotten songs becomes a bridge across silence and time. They will grapple with identity in “Who Am I?”, learn the active practice of thankfulness in “The ABCs of Gratitude,” and feel the liberating call to love in anthems like “The Higher Calling.” The collection masterfully weaves together diverse spiritual traditions—from Yoruba Ifa and Kemetic principles to metaphysics and Japanese tanka poetry—creating a universal language of the soul that transcends any single path.
“What you are seeking is seeking you,” the author concludes, a truth that pulses at the heart of this work. Blackbutterfly Soul Songs is for anyone who has ever asked, “Who am I?”, for anyone healing from personal or historical pain, and for anyone ready to listen to the soft, powerful voice of their own soul whispering its unique song.
This book is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit and the beauty that awaits when we dare to shed our limitations and take flight.
Blackbutterfly Soul Songs is now available for purchase on Amazon in paperback, hardback, and eBook formats.
