Book Cover & Preview Text
One of my biggest problems is accepting the constant changes in life. To me the kids are no longer kids. They are an extension of what they were. The parents, grand parents, aunts & uncles have either passed or are a shell of who they used to be. In my mind I am the same as I always was. But, when I look in the mirror, I see that I am not. My youth is gone and over with, much like the pages of my books that have already been read. My future is yet to be seen. But quick enough will be revealed like the final pages of this book. Soon there will be nothing left, save for the pictures and words that describe what was my life.

About the Book
Through my poetry I have overcome the stigma of "the kid from the Remedial English class". It has been almost a 35 year journey. A journey inspired by a Teacher's belief in her student. A journey down a path not planned. A journey that never could have been imagined by that 13 year old student.
About the Author
I am Danny Mahlon Underwood, an International Poet & Author from Mt. Zion, Il. I have authored three previously released poetry books, 'A Look Into My Soul', 'Dark Eyes; Deep Mind' & 'Beyond The Smile'. Through my poetry I have overcome the stigma of "the kid from the Remedial English class". It has been almost a 35 year journey. A journey inspired by a Teacher's belief in her student. A journey down a path not planned. A journey that never could have been imagined by that 13 year old student. "You have a gift. Look into your soul and you will find it, And when you do, tap into it, use it and you will be amazed at what you see." These are the words of Ms. Chestine Peifer. My mentor, my friend & the woman who literally saved my life. Without her, I would have never had the courage to have began this journey. Without poetry, I never could have continued this journey. Without you, the readers, I never could have completed this journey. The release of 'The Demons Are Done Dancing', completes the journey. The stigma has been removed. I looked into my soul, I found it, I tapped in to it, I used it and I am amazed. Danny Mahlon Underwood
