The closing of the curtain
A moment of success
So many emotions
But now you’re feeling less
Will you get it back again
The magic on this stage
Or will it be a footnote
On a long-forgotten page
So many ways to see it
The joy of just what is
Or longing for a moment
Of a long since absent kiss
Just a tinge of sadness
A smile and a tear
Reminds us we are human
And it reminds us why we’re here
About the Poem A Tinge of Sadness
The poem A Tinge of Sadness is about that feeling when something wonderful happens but you know the moment is going to end. There’s a momentary high and then you come back down to earth. Are you grateful for the moment, or sad because it’s gone? You can be both – but which will you carry with you? You can’t have rainbows without rain. Lots of ways to look at things. It’s all part of the human experience. Enjoy all of it while you are here.
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.
