The gentle, chunky ticks and tocks As two clocks lilt in opposing grooves The sound of laughter from the next room The amphibious amphitheater down below Sends an evening serenade wafting Through my window These are the sounds that soothe What in reality was a steady progression over time felt like the span of a nineties sitcom episode. One day as eyeglasses sat on Timothy Samuel's nose, they literally changed his perspective, while simultaneously growing a new yearning to see beyond the surface. Somewhere in the blur of graduations, weddings, and a pandemic, each of these events, while starkly different in nature, prompted reflection. In a collection of poems, Timothy explores a multitude of topics about feelings and experiences through mindful lenses that include seeing and appreciating the people around him, the beauty of nature, and himself as he looks in the mirror and sees a different man. Throughout his poems, Timothy welcomes others to find encouragement and new perspectives in our common experiences. Changing Lenses shares poems that creatively reflect on one man's experiences and feelings as he views the world from a new perspective.
