Whether it be the melody unheard, but felt, from the many song lyrics in the first chapter, which express many stories about life in a myriad of situations, or to the many other topics covered, all conveying their "moment" as all consuming. The reader is put into and becomes one with, the "moment".There are several categories of poems to give the reader a "change of pace," as it were. Thus so, allowing for a different subject matter when wanted and the reader can alternate from one subject matter to another seamlessly when a different mood entices them.Using the Table of Content can get readers to a specific area of interest for quick look ups.
