Shut out all the chaos
Tune out all the noise
This is time for discovery
To hear your inner voice
What will this time tell you
What secrets may reveal
Or what might you discover
About what you truly feel
Can you find the answers
To questions looming large
About fate and destiny
And of what you are in charge
Stillness is what awaits us
Between things we must do
It presents us with a doorway
Time to step on through
About the Poem Stillness
The poem Stillness is about taking the time to do nothing. “Il Dolce far niente” is an Italian phrase that translates to “the sweetness of doing nothing”. It’s not exactly about stillness, but it’s a close concept. It’s about the appreciation of that time when nothing is happening. In western culture we put so much emphasis on output that the concept of stillness is often completely lost. We are not that different from electric cars in that we need to recharge periodically. If you go too long without recharging, what happens? It’s the same for people. We need to recharge on a regular basis. Paying attention to creating stillness will allow us to recharge and it will create new opportunities because we have made the time and space for them to enter our lives.
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.
