Stars at night they twinkle
Afar and burning bright
Each a source of wonder
Standing bright amidst the night
We pay them small attention
For they are always there
We go about our business
With but a single care
But then there are the comets
Bright and racing past
Everyone takes notice
Even if they do not last
It’s what people remember
The dramatic burning light
That stands out on the landscape
And brightens up the night
Sacred Poems – Comets
Comets is about a young life that was cut short. Much people are like stars in that people will look at them and not necessarily notice anything special. They are generally in the same place that you looked at them last. On the other hand, a comet streaks across the sky and eventually disappear in a blaze of glory. We tend to remember the comets more than the stars around them. They don’t last very long, but they make a difference on our lives and our experience. Obviously a longer life is preferable to a short one, but we all should try to light up the world and make people remember that we were here.
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.
