Lost in conversation
Just talking to yourself
All the dreams are memories
Just sitting on a shelf

Is the road just winding
Or have you reached the end
What’s definite is change
That awaits around the bend

Is this just a chapter
Or maybe the whole book
Is there more to learn
On the path that others took

Only you can answer
The questions that you pose
And if the path ahead
Differs from the one you chose


About the Poem Talking to Yourself

Talking to yourself is an inspirational poem by Robert Longley about the tough conversations we sometimes need to have with ourselves.  Are we doing the things that feed our soul?  Do our relationships support us?  Should we have made different choices in the past?  Basically the tough stuff that we often beat ourselves up over.   We are our own worst enemy and we are also the key to what we want in our lives.  In both cases the choice is ours.  Take time to talk to yourself and have those tough conversations.  You have the answers that you are looking for.

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.
