Rarely is it subtle
It can cut you like a knife
A rush of pure emotion
That might just change your life
Does it have a message
Beyond just being cold
Will it share its wisdom
For when we have grown old
It’s tempting to dismiss it
When it’s blowing in your face
But maybe there’s a purpose
For you being in this place
We tend to see the dark and cold
As somehow linked to death
But life is ever present
In every winter’s breath
About the Poem Winter’s Breath
The poem Winter’s Breath is about people’s perception of winter. Is it an end or a beginning? The cold can be uncomfortable but it’s also the start of a new process. So is winter something for us to suffer, or embrace as having a purpose for us. What gift can we get from winter? Sometimes we just need to think about that and figure out what makes sense for us.
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.
