The subject of the analysis is Halina Twaranowicz’s spiritual poetry. Her poems can be described as a conversation between the human soul and God, some of them resemble a prayer. Twaranowicz’s spirituality is transcendental, at the same time filled with the joy of earthly life which accepts the greatest gift possible. Reflections on repentance and its importance in human life constitute a large part. The lyrical character believes that all suffering and problems are the destiny of man. Twaranowicz’s lyrics are characterized by philosophical reflections on the meaning of human life. Her poems are a journey into herself, her spiritual gaze is directed toward getting to know the inner “I”, which has found a point of support in Eternity.
