Surf and sand invite us
The heartbeat of the waves
Always there in motion
For all of mankind’s days

Will you just enjoy the sound
Or maybe set your sails
Letting go your sight of land
To be among the whales

Others journey deep below
To see what life exists
And maybe meet a parrot fish
Who surely should be kissed

Maybe sit and close your eyes
And remember times of yore
And know that time is precious
As we wish that there was more

About the Pome – The Heartbeat of the Waves

The Heartbeat of the Waves is an inspirational poem by Robert Longley about the call of the ocean and how different people respond to it.  Some of us will simple enjoy the sound of the waves.  Others will jump in to embrace the waves directly and explore the aquatic life under the water.  Still others will want to set sail and let the waves bring them to distant shores.  The ocean holds gifts for all of us in different 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.
