Where once there stood a city
A palace lone stands brave
A long silent reminder
Of those lost beneath the waves
This was one of many
Not the “one” of myth and tale
There was no time to ride or run
Or ships to set to sail
Water rushed for miles
Oer land and field and stream
For many days of horror
Now but lost to times of dreams
The lesson is the cycle
Of past and future days
Remind us of the power
Of mother nature’s ways

Inspirational Poetry Books
Here are some of the books that are available from Robert Longley. I would recommend the Sacred Poem journals. Reading my earlier books (especially the ones for Military, Police and Firefighter’s families) cover to cover can be overwhelming. The poetry journals are designed to give you one poem per day while you journal about what might be going on in your life. There are specific journals for grief, success, and more.

Inspirational Poetry Products
While I do signed poetry prints that are 11×14, that isn’t the size or product that all people want. Some just want a sympathy card, others may want a large canvas print, or maybe a coffee cup. There are limits to what I can customize with the options available so some products just don’t work. Please just ignore them, I know that that format doesn’t work. If you are looking for something specific, or would like to make something specific just let me know. I’m open to just about anything.
