It’s just a subtle movement
Where water kisses air
I only have to close my eyes
And instantly I’m there
Some days its pure reflection
A surface just like glass
A brief and special moment
That all too soon will pass
Other days the winds are strong
The water comes alive
I’m happy just to sit and watch
And know it’s worth the drive
Know it’s always changing
But the ingredients are the same
The wind and water together
Almost seem to call your name

About the Poem – Notice the Ripples
Notice the Ripples is an inspirational poem by Robert Longley. It was originally written in memory of
2LT Tobias C. Alexander who was killed May 20, 2012. It’s about noticing the little things. There’s more going on in our world that we often overlook. Take the time to see how nature provides a performance for us all the time.
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.
