A desert blooming flower
Warmed beneath the sun
A brightening of the landscape
A new day has begun

A clearing of the dogma
The tapestry remade
A challenge to the system
And new plans to be laid

And so begins the process
The dropping the veil
The battle lines are drawing
So which one will prevail

The clouds on the horizon
Bring rain and darkened skies
A chance for truth and freedom
Or more rhetoric and lies

About the Poem a Flower in the Desert

The Poem a Flower in the Desert is about the possibilities of change in a dogmatic world

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.
