The audience before me
Nature all around
Silence in this moment
You cannot hear a sound

It’s there in concentration
The focus and the drive
Centers in our being
And makes us feel alive

No roof, no walls no limits
It sets our spirit free
And provides a unique vantage
A show that God can see

For some there will be greatness
A mix of talent, luck and chance
But for now there’s just this moment
And this thing that we call dance

About the Poem – This Thing That We Call Dance

The poem This Thing That We Call Dance is about the school at Jacob’s Pillow. For anyone who hasn’t been there and appreciates dance, it is a must.

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.
