Times of deep reflection
Making sense of things
The march of time unending
Along with all it brings
The time between the moments
Is the place where wisdom lives
You just have to listen
To all the silence gives
The words are not external
They tend to live inside
Waiting for quiet moments
To bridge the great divide
It’s there the truth emerges
An idea to be shared
With those who need to hear it
Even if you’re scared
About the Poem The Quiet Moments
The poem The Quiet Moments are those times of solitude and silence that we often overlook. They aren’t the absence of something. They are the times where new thoughts and ideas can emerge. Too often we rush to fill the space because we think we should be doing something. What if what we are supposed to be doing is nothing? Electric cars spend a lot of time doing nothing. They call it recharging. Humans need to do it as well. But somehow we think we are supposed to be going 90 miles per hour all the time.
Take time to listen to the silence. You may be surprised by what you hear.
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.
