It’s really just a trigger
To remember what we know
It might not even be from this lifetime
But an idea starts to grow

A notion and reminder
That won’t just go away
Resurfacing in patterns
That you start to see each day

What could we do differently
To keep our lives on track
Can we embrace gratitude
Instead of seeing lack

Will this small taste guide us
In ways that we can give
Or simply provide direction
For how all of us should live

About the poem A Small Taste

The poem A Small Taste is about how things can trigger an idea about doing something that actually feels like a memory. You know what to do because you can remember doing it – even if that isn’t your current reality. The whole thing isn’t revealed all at once. Just a peek behind the curtain, but it’s enough to get a sense of what comes next. This is when the plan starts to form, or the memory returns – take your pick. Your brain may not know the difference. Have you done this before? Perhaps it’s just an aspect of quantum physics. We don’t push towards the future. We are pulled towards it. Think about it.

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.
