A single sense experience
Is often incomplete
There’s more to what is present
Like only seeing what you eat
Beauty is less obvious
We think in terms of sight
But is something still beautiful
In the darkness of the night
There’s more than what is visible
In many things we see
Sound and smell are present
When admiring a tree
The next time you see beauty
think if there is more
Ask your other senses
And learn what is in store
About the Poem Beauty We Only See
The poem Beauty We Only See is about taking a moment to experience the world differently. We tend to have a single sensory experiences with many things, but chances are there are other aspects of most experiences if you take the time to think about it. I chose the example of hugging a tree because it’s something we aren’t likely to do it. Children might not think twice about it and know they aren’t just going through the motions that an adult might if asked to do the same. Experiment with the idea that every experience has more than one way of experiencing it. Food is generally an easy one with taste, smell and sight engaged. Occasionally, there might be sounds with the preparation or presentation. But what about a beautiful sunrise or sunset? You might feel a gentle breeze. Birds might punctuate the moment. Just something to think about to widen your world view.
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.
