Reading this enchanting collection of poetry sparks deep self-reflection on your outlook on the world and your hopes and dreams. I found it difficult to choose my favorite poem as each had a unique message. In A Lonely Tree, you learn the importance of preserving nature for future generations; 'It told me how my great-grandfather played, And the story of an old man who sat on hay.' In Cheaters, we are reminded that many of us leave it too late to realize the importance of a work-life balance: 'They (men) are betrayed, and cheated often. Their happiness rests in a cemetery in a coffin.' The one poem that stood out for me was A Tree That Wanted To Grow Higher And... This was so inspirational and a huge motivator to strive for your dreams. Ami Kalsi's amazing ability to evoke emotions and contemplation is absolutely outstanding. I recommend you read each poem in Musical Thoughts several times so you are able to grasp the powerful message hidden within. There are important life lessons to be discovered in each poem.

Author Ami Kalsi brings a youthful emotional power, optimism, and freshness to the work which is certainly lacking in some of the more old-fashioned writers in the poetic community, and I found her work to be a breath of fresh air because of it.
