During this period of fourteeen months the ebb and flow of the river of his life carried him through many changes and challenges.\u003c\/p\u003e The early poems address a period of contemplation and preparing for change, as Going Home: Relaxing my graps,  I let the small bird fly free; And I watch, afraid. Frantic wings carry her home; Without wings, I am still, lost. The final poem address a personal text of love, as in Love's Touch: Speaking with silence,  Soft fatigue has settled here. Quietly, we wait. Leaving our thoughts unuttered. Holding, touching, one more time.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Robert W.
