Your mailbox overflowing
With letters from the past
Sent as reminders
Of patterns meant to last
The letters just keep coming
The words are all the same
Reinforcing patterns
Born from pain and shame
But sometimes there are postcards
The future sometimes sends
That share a different vision
Where older patterns end
We look forward to the postcards
Of a future we can see
It shows us what is possible
And what could someday be
About the Poem Postcards From the Future
The poem Postcards From the Future is about how are lives tend to be be dominated by messages from our past. These old words often hold us in old patterns. We live our lives based on things others have said to us, and sometimes the things we say to ourselves. Occasionally the future will send us a postcard of what is possible and not just what has been. Everyone likes getting postcards. We just need to pay more attention to them when they turn up.
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.
