This book uses poetry in its freest form. It takes the norm, turns it on its side, revealing an angular view of life or if you will a whole new perception of it. The readers will come away reflecting on their own experiences as the writer takes them on a journey that covers the gambit of life. It covers agony (A Father's Regret, Surviving); humor (Tolerance, Patience, The Braggart); speaks intellectually (Obstacles, Understandable, Hope, Waste, Amen, Crossing the Line) by simplifying life; teaches (Wisdom's Paradox, The Art of Healing, Another Round, Sooner or Later) that nothing is as it appears; looks at love (The Nature of Our Love, A Love Untouched, Lovers) through the eyes of a single man; touches on the aspect of God (God's Children, In the Eyes of Our Creator, The Son, Answered Prayer, A Revelation, Diminished Love); pinches the underside of being human (Unhinged, Passing the Torch, Under the Tiger's Paw, The Unfortunate); broaches nature's unseen side (The Darker Side, The Middle of May, Summer's Passing, Morning Dew, Snowflakes); deals with the sensitive issues of humanity (The Wedding Gift, Hand Outs, The Piper, The Weavers, The Flute Players, The Soldier's Tears, Paper Dreams); toys with words (I Think I Know, Change, Bickering Rivals, Pockets of Time, Needling Grudges, False Accusations, Debt, Smoke in Your Eyes); educates (The Values of a Wise Man, Time is all Relative); views certain everyday issues with a different perspective (Is the Grass Greener on the Other Side, Mistakes, Babel's Aftermath, Who's to Blame). In short, it's a collection of 289 poems that alters the reader's perception of life allowing them to look at it with a different set of eyes and be wiser for the experience.
