A soft and gentle blanket
A season filled with night
This time of mother’s resting
This covering of white

This is a time of silence
And rest when life renews
This time of life’s reflection
On directions that we choose

The colors soon to changing
When life returns anew
Providing new direction
And home for me and you

So take this time in spirit
Relaxing per the need
This time of soft reflection
For the growth of future seeds

About the Poem The Blanket

The poem The Blanket is about how winter provides a safe blanket for us to relax, reflect and renew. It protects and heals so life can return.

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.
