The collection starts off with an introductory poem on the aging process titled "Turned Inside Out" excerpt below: Turned Inside Out © Candice James Wandering into Alzheimer's night / I'm fading away from reality's light.// I've forgotten the words to your favourite song / and the lyrics to mine don't seem to belong. / I can't differentiate between right and wrong / and the memories I cherished are now lost and gone. // I reach for my cane as my hands start to shake / I can't recall when my bones didn't ache. / I look in the mirror and see a white streak / has replaced the black strands of my widow's peak. / Then my mind starts to wander. My eyes glaze over. / I'm a child again running through fields of clover. // But still there are things I barely remember / and January's now just a prolonged December. / I've learned many things from my sojourn on earth. / There's two sides to everything; each of great worth. / A whisper's the other side of a shout / and today is just yesterday turned inside out. There are many subjects and emotions addressed in this wonderful book of contemporary rhyming power poetry. It is truly a gem in this world of mostly free verse poetry. These poems and this book will never become dust in the wind. It will withstand the tides of time.
