Connections made in silence
Across the bounds of time
Building complex pathways
For this hill of life we climb
Some that would seem random
Are perfect in design
And seem truly surprising
In the connections that we find
What brings us together
Sometimes also keeps us apart
Connections need a purpose
And the perfect time to start
Sometimes seeds we’ve planted
Must grow into a tree
To see all the connections
Of what is meant to be
About The Poem Connections
Connections is an inspirational poem about the connections we make in life. When I graduated from high school I was sure that the people who I knew the best would continue to be in my life in a similar way. Nothing could be further from the truth. I have been surprised both by the people who didn’t keep in contact as well as the ones that did. The same has been true of college as well. Recently I reconnected with someone that I hadn’t actually seen in about 35 years and I noticed a common thread.
All of our lives have creative non-traditional paths. They include writers, musicians, artists, business owners and one of the top experts on scents in the world. As I was reminded “there are more astronauts”. They don’t all know one another but they all know me. Chances are you have some people in your life the same way. You are connected by things that may be somewhat beyond your past interactions. If you haven’t thought about it, it’s an idea worth exploring.
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.
