Thoughts Discovered is a varied collection of the poetic writings of S.Tarr, released in five volumes, on such relevant subjects as love and adventure, wisdom and worldview, and contemplating the wonder of life and the grandeur of things that transcend the now and the present. The Wonder of It All is the fourth volume in the series.

Excerpts from the book:

Today

"Today is a day

of change, old things

turn into new.

The true and

the faithful stand in awe

of a future glory.

Let the good be

honoured, let the brave

be evermore."

Pattern Recognition

"It is the

small things that

become the big things,

it is the big things, again,

that become the

small."

Chasing Hearts

"Chasing hearts,

seeking dreams.

The sea is deeper

than the streams.

This life is more

than what it seems.

You have the power,

you have the means."

Affinity Earth

"The animals,

the trees,

the very earth.

I love all these

with great mirth.

A natural affinity

given to me at birth.

This world,

and all, I consider

as great worth."

The Secret of the Wood

"In the fire,

in the flame,

the secret of the wood,

of the tree,

is revealed

in light and

in a blaze of

life-changing glory."

Sublime

"Time is sublime,

both in duty and in kind.

For it is known and

unknown, misunderstood

and defined.

It is wanted and

denied, forgotten and

remembered.

It is captured and

again lost, taken for granted

and most treasured.

Time is our guide

and our companion.

Conceived by the

Greatest Champion."

Editorial Reviews

If you are looking for well written, eloquent, and inspiring poetry, I highly recommend Thoughts Discovered: The Wonder of It All. The poems touch on varying themes from faith (such as "In the Morning" and "Night Sky") to nature, but the common thread of inspiration and wonder is present throughout. These are real and honest poems that everyone, no matter what their situation or walk of life, will be able to relate to (and that is the mark of true poetry, is it not?). Hopefully the author will continue to write and share his work.
