And so it’s there
We live our days
In many places
And many ways

Always to remind us
Of both of the extremes
Considering in silence
Becomes the source of dreams

Each may try to pull us
Either up or down below
But somewhere in the middle
This is where we learn to grow

The struggle is unending
This subtle tug of war
That sets our minds to wonder
What is our life for

About the Poem Between Sea and Sky

The poem Between Sea and Sky is about a cemetery in Positano, Italy. It has one of the best views in the world. Some might think it is wasted on the dead, but it is also a place for the living. Early in November, it becomes a place of celebration. Families come to remember their loved ones and share stories with others doing the same. For all time, people buried her are at a perfect location between sea and sky.

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.
