A bounty for the senses
A memory from the past
Only for a moment
But destined still to last
Where will the memory take us
To a time or special place
Transporting us for a moment
And putting a smile on our face
So many possibilities
Destinations for the mind
There are endless combinations
Of happiness to find
It doesn’t take much to get there
One simple breath will do
A flood of scents and memories
Is waiting there for you
About The Poem Reminiscents
Reminiscents is a play on words as well as being an inspirational poem about candles. These scents can take us lots of places. If your house is anything like mine, you probably have a few candles lying around – and not just to put on cakes for the occasional birthday. Unlike birthday candles, most candles these days are about the scents. It might be kitchen smells like cinnamon or Christmas cookie. It may be scents that remind you of a northern evergreen forest. Still others bring back memories of the sea shore, a flower garden, or maybe your grandfather’s pipe. All you have to do is close your eyes and you can find yourself remembering many events of your life.
Reminiscents should probably be a new word. The experience of remembering through scents. Candles can definitely bring back lots of memories or simply change your mood. There are lots of different ones out there. Here is one of my favorites from a friend of mine (who also gets credit for the title).

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.
