Excerpts from the book:
A New Hope
"Thank you, God, for
healing and relief.
For time away from
suffering and grief.
A mind refreshed,
a body healed.
A new day dawning,
a new hope revealed."
You Are Here
"You are still alive,
you are still here.
There is much more to see,
look for it as it appears.
So fret not dear one,
nor live in daily fear.
Your destiny is far greater than,
the sum of all your tears.
You are meant for far more,
you are meant to be here."
Wandering Stars
"All roads lead us to roam,
our journey through life,
told in sacred poem,
wandering stars,
we each are to be found,
until the end we reach,
from our earthly round."
Look, Ask, Believe
"Look and
you will see.
Ask and
you will receive.
Believe and
you will be free."
Dreams
"Dreams are for us
a gateway, to another
time and place,
it conjures up desires,
it reflects to us our fate,
and when our dreams
start waking, our lives
will become great."
Forest for the Trees
"I want a forest for the trees,
a place where they can be,
and live together as family,
a place where I can go to,
and leave for you, as my
last will and legacy."
Brave
"The longer that
you live, the braver
you must be, the braver
you become, the more
you will be free."
Hold Sacred
"What I hold sacred and dear
as hallowed gift it did appear,
in human hands I hold but brief
this life of love, and some of grief,
held in awe and deeply venerated
my soul no more is separated."
End at Last
"We start at the beginning,
with a living being.
Dead men walking,
it's all or nothing.
The future ever revealing,
the end at last appearing.
Eternity starts when seeing,
that you were made for living.
That you were made for loving,
the end at last beginning."

Greater Things (Thoughts Discovered - S. Tarr
Preface
Like all things in life, the Thoughts Discovered series has come to an end. Championing this end is Greater Things, the final volume of the series.
The end has been a long time in coming, with the series having been written over the last 10 years, but its end comes in good time, for, as I have written on numerous occasions throughout the series, some things, the truly great things, take time to grow, carrying with them the mark of experience and wisdom, gained through success and failure, through living life; they take time to reveal the purpose, and the ultimate glory, of the individual parts, of the journey travelled to get to the end, of becoming whole, of being found complete.
Now whenever I am asked what the Thoughts Discovered series is about I give differing answers. One answer being that, it is a series of poems, or poetic thoughts, each exploring various relevant themes, and perhaps giving them an example of a poem, if I happen to have one at hand or in mind. The quickest answer that, it is a collection of very short stories. However, what I have recently been responding with is that, it is a memoir; a poetic account of my thoughts, experiences and philosophical ideas and ideals on life, especially those of my 20s and early 30s.
In turn, the question I ask myself is, what do I wish to achieve with Thoughts Discovered, apart from entertaining myself, expressing my wandering thoughts and exploring life's many deeper realities? The answer is that, I want to leave you
