‘Poet’s Daffodil’ is a collection of 100 poems in Hebrew. The poet started writing this collection in exile during the late summer of 1999 in Denmark. However, only a year later that this collection was completed in Israel during the poet’s predestined/inevitable assignment. 37 poems of this collection were published in Israel during the year 2000 in a Hebrew book called ‘Narkis Attur’. The poet sold very few copies of the short Hebrew book during his ministry in Israel. But due to harsh circumstances he had to abandon all of his book copies and flee. Thereupon he returned to exile broken hearted and forlorn. Although he felt that he failed to establish communication with his nation due to the rotten spirit of the age, his poetry carries the profound messages of salvation; messages that were bound/destined to save posterity. The spirit of the new age and the birth of the new dawn are playing a chief role in his very first collection of Hebrew poems. The poem ‘Narkis Attur’ portrays the poet’s humble request to be discovered by a beautiful maiden/nation. But no society on earth embraced him for what he really was: An artist, a poet, an individual, an altruist, and a missionary man. The maiden that he waited for was neither beautiful nor human. However, his hopes for a better mankind have never died out. Thus the beautiful maiden of the new dawn is just about to discover him after all. The transformation of mankind into a higher level of consciousness is implied in many of the poems through words and through uplifting emotions and moods. This poetry collection is the ray of the New Dawn, the poet is the daffodil, and the beautiful maiden is the spirit of the New Age.
