Publisher's Synopsis
Train of Thought presents a collection of poetry that contains a unique and intriguing compilation of themes. As bold as it is vulnerable, it combines elements to create a vivid depiction of a broad spectrum of emotions. Through her graceful writing ability, Barbara C. Johnson fearlessly captures the basis of life's emotional essence. Interspersed with her poems are short prose passages exploring her thoughts further.
These verses seek to examine the positive and negative feelings that the experiences of life awakens. They trace a pathway of ideas and imagination, ultimately unveiling an effusive Train of Thought. She gathers the thoughts of what she'd say when the time came Words ... Colliding Stumbling away in her brain And her mind ... attempting to release how she feels inside Fantasizing the fantasies Realizing the realities of a generalized speech broken down piece, by piece, by ... peace Yet there she stays speechless Silent Muted like Chaplin's exquisite expressions She became a mime The sole narrator of gestures in her mind -from "Words Without Substance"
