A fleeting final moment
A sunset made of sound
A choir of hands in unison
That echoes all around

It lasts just but an instant
But in some ways time stands still
Aa long-standing tradition
That truly is a thrill

This moment of connection
Where hopes and dreams collide
A sharing of emotions
We hold down deep inside

And so we stand together
A dialogue of sharing
Expressing with our hands
Both gratitude and caring

About the Poem Applause

The poem Applause is about that moment of celebration at the end of performances.

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.
