Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Thirty years ago, Barbara asked me to read a poem at her father's funeral. I owned many poetry books and proceeded to go through them without having much luck, finding some that were OK, but not quite right. So I decided to write one myself- more personal and therefore more meaningful. It turned out well, so I continued writing them ever since. This book contains 175 of my best poems. Following Thoreau's lead, I write mostly Nature observations, but also Human observations too, in a journalistic style. These personal poetic essays I know mean the most to me, but many are universal enough to touch others. I hope you enjoy them. This item is printed on demand.

Condizione: Hervorragend. Zustand: Hervorragend | Sprache: Englisch | Produktart: Bücher | When he fails to help curb the worldwide pandemic in the 21st Century, time-traveling healer Torak loses confidence in himself. When his boss Master Healer Robbikan sends him back in time to help with a plague that is sweeping the land of Anon, Torak vows to do better with this second chance. In Anon, he meets good people like the innkeepers Gwene and her husband Axande, and their daughter Lillen and her friend Jana. He also meets bad people like the highwayman Zork and his two ruthless henchmen. Torak succeeds in healing the sick and becomes instrumental in helping defend against the bad guys. He regains his confidence. However, the evil Zorandon rules the land. He is a sadistic human being whose only pleasure is inflicting pain and suffering on others. When Torak takes on two young girls as assistants who are Trorcs (half-troll and half-orc) who have escaped torture and certain death at the hand of the evil king, life becomes complicated. It's made even more so when Zorandon becomes ill with the plague and calls for Torak. It is then the healer must make a fateful decision: should he try to heal the psychotic ruler or let him die? They are two tough choices, made even tougher because Torak knows whatever he decides, he and his friends must live with the consequences.

Paperback. Condizione: new. Paperback. Life is change, seen daily as new plants emerge in the spring or later, when colorful leaves fall from the trees. The seasons change, and so do we. We experience life in all of its varied forms, and we grow, becoming more well-rounded people as we do.But there is consistency, too. The stars are always there. The moon, the sun, even knowing that the seasons will change, all add a dependability and reliability to life that is both known and counted on; a sense of comfort and security.There is immense joy that can be found in living day to day in this life: watching the night sky and appreciating the thousands upon thousands of stars that can be seen. Planets, too, not to mention the aurora borealis. They bring to mind a deeper meaning, one that includes not only the wide universe but also what can be observed nearby and all around us.A walk outdoors, whether a forest path, a parkland hiking trail, a neighborhood street, can put one in touch with the natural world: a fresh daylily emerging to the light of spring, a blazing sunset, mellow moonlight, the call of sandhill cranes, the special look from a loved one, a child's laughter, and the precious time spent with a friend. Life is all around us. I'm not only glad for that but grateful.The poems in this collection reflect my belief that appreciating life in all its forms reflects what it means to be truly human. I hope you read them and take a moment to think about each one. Most importantly, I hope that you enjoy them. This item is printed on demand.
