"Words of wisdom and words of woe Words that tell you where to go Words of love and words of hate May synthesize if it gets too late Words of instruction and admonition May prevent a chosen path's fruition The subtleties of the humanities May contribute to one's proclivities But the distance to the answer is much too far They're just words, that's all . . . that's all they are." Robert Torbett's compelling collection of poetry takes the reader through the gamut of human emotion. From recollections of lost love, to the thrill of a chance meeting . . . probing social commentary to whimsically witty musings . . . this collection encapsulates life's joyous moments and its enigmatic challenges into thought-provoking balladry, taking the reader to places in one's own soul and shining a light on forgotten memories.
