The River of Winged Dreams by Aberjhani - Bright Skylark Literary Productions

“…The whole purpose of the construction of The Bridge of Silver Wings was to provide a path leading to The River of Winged Dreams, or to serve as a resting place until the river’s deeper and truer nature revealed itself.” 

          --Aberjhani, from The River of Winged Dreams

There were no conscious plans to turn The River of Winged Dreams into one of the most quoted books both on and off the Internet. Had there been such a plan, chances are the users of Facebook, Twitter, Goodreads, Pinterest, Wordpress and other blog sites likely would have been more inclined to avoid the title rather than embrace it. However, that it has become one of the more quietly-celebrated modern works of literature around might be considered less surprising when looking at the private and global circumstances under which it was written. Those circumstances are revealed in the book’s foreword and introduction as well as in the text of the poems and in the essay titled “Feathers of Gold, Feathers of Silver.” 

They describe a spiritually-charged sensibility flowing back and forth between alternating currents of nearly cosmic-scaled elation and despair, or desperation.  Angels declare their presence in the form of poems and influential human personalities state their gifts and purposes in the shapes of living memory and camaraderie dressed in delicate vision.  Such circumstances throughout history have often bestowed upon scribes a language that transcended their individual literary passion or intent.  The unknown meaning at the moment of its creation was always to help empower the voices of those destined to confront the turbulence of their times and the challenged fragility of their own being.
