To reach across the bounds of time
To know again your touch sublime
Glistening palaces of brilliant white
Illuminate the darkness of the night

Your hand in mine from times of old
And memories of thoughts untold
Kept apart by winds and sand
Til journeys to a foreign land

To set aside your self at last
And feel the feelings of the past
As time grew short, the music played
The moments passed, the feeling stayed

So walk with me inside your dreams
And know our love is what it seems
Picture scenes from far away
And know we’ll meet another day

About The Poem Hands of Time

The Hands of Time is an inspirational poem by Robert Longley about connections that can exist between people that may no longer exist in the present. We are often connected to people in ways that we can not explain. Sometimes it is a clue to possibilities that may exist in the future.

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.
