Sharing in our passion
Yet many miles apart
Knowing we’re connected
By what is in our heart
The music may be silent
The stage may now be dark
But even with our distance
You can’t contain the spark
In fields and halls and sidewalks
The sounds do gather still
Reaching across the planet
To let our spirits fill
Soon we’ll be together
Our spirit joined as one
Spreading across the planet
Like the warm light of the sun
About the Poem Together Apart
Together Apart is an inspirational poem about the dance troupe from Riverdance. On St Patrick’s Day I was in the mood for a little Irish music and happened to find a video on YouTube by the Riverdance dancers. Unlike most of the images you’ve seen of this spectacular performance, each dancer was dancing alone or with only one other person. Such is the impact of the Covid Pandemic on the world of dance. There are couples and family members as part of the cast. It’s a different experience watching each dancer individually rather than as part of a combined production. It’s still beautiful, but the connection is only within the dancers themselves.
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.
