I’ll Meet You Soon

Posted on by Carey S. Clark, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, RYT, FAAN

Oh, I’ll meet you soon, yes, I’ll search far and oh so wide
I won’t miss your life’s show, gladly be at your side.
*
I’ll look for you in that blue summer sky
Sitting on a cloud, I’ll wave and smile as you float by.
*
I’ll call out to you, as you rest on the dark side of the moon
I am sure I’ll be there quickly, perhaps by the last day in June.
*
I’ll send out a signal, directed to the brightest and largest star
You can wait there for me, I know it’s a trip, but not too awfully far.
*
I’ll find you shining there, at the crisp dark end of this universe
I know I can do it, I’ll just take a left at God’s empty purse.
*
This is my cosmos, just a long silvery-lit dream come true
Oh, I’ll meet you there, just follow this celestial map that I drew.

The Heartbreak

Posted on by Carey S. Clark, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, RYT, FAAN

You won’t be the last
And I may be the first
This heart felt like slowly dying
The pain could not be reversed.
*
For when you broke me open
Scraping up all that was left inside
I was crippled and left crawling
Despite how hard I tried.
*
I wish I could tell you
Somehow show you how I have grown
Tears have made me stronger
I thrive, though I am on my own.
*
You won’t be the last
And I may be the first
I own the heartbreak now
With pain,I am well versed.
*
Yet I fear not
Because of you I grew
You won’t be the last
But I am born anew.

I Believe in You

Posted on by Carey S. Clark, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, RYT, FAAN

I never believed in much

But I believe in you

I believe you can heal yourself

And start over all anew.

*

I never cared too much

But I care deeply for you

I believe you can grow deeper

And to your own dreams you’ll be true.

*

I never knew too much

Oh, but I knew about love

I studied you from up close, also from afar

And I can see love moving through you from above.

*

I never cried too much

Until you came into my life

Those tears watered my soul

And I have grown through the strife.

*

I never believed in too much

But I believe in you

Until the end, until the last breath

And this life melts away into the blue.

Cathy
Your darkness
Matched mine as well
If only you hadn’t heard those words
If only you couldn’t believe they weren’t true
If only you had come to me
And demanded the truth of our love.
We may have had a chance
To yet dwell together
At Wuthering Heights,
And now I lay here
So cold beneath the ground
Yet my soul wanders the moors
Where are you yet my beloved
My one and only
You drove me here
To madness, to an overwhelming grief
To death even as new life emerged.
Oh, Heathcliff
I shall wrap my soul around yours
And torment you, call to you, haunt you
For it shall be enough.
Join me know cruel master
Out on these blustery moors
Wander through time with me
Forever entangled
My Heathcliff.

Love never fades

Posted on by Carey S. Clark, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, RYT, FAAN

“Love never fades”
She says
And the tears well up.
It’s all still the same
This deep love in my heart
As I look around
I really see the winter wonderland.
I no longer wonder where the love went
It’s right here
Deep within
Ready to break through
and and warm up the soul’s coldness.
No more dark night of the soul
No more clinging and wishing inside
The soul is now warmed
With this lovelight that never fades.

The House of Love

Posted on by Carey S. Clark, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, RYT, FAAN

We are going to torch this place

This house of hate

We are going to burn it right up

We have no time to wait.

The most powerful force

Known to mankind

Brings us true justice

Of spirit, heart, and mind.

We are going to fill every heart

With an eternal love

We are going to tap right in

To the message from above.

When hate lays there in shambles

With smoking ashes left behind

We are going to rebuild this house

And it will be loving and kind.

We will build this house of love

It will withstand all force

We will know beyond doubt

That we are right on a loving course.

So let us watch her burn right down

This house of fear and hate

And from those rising ashes

This new way we shall create.

This house, this earth, this planet

Filled with love to every being

This suffering ends now, today

And every heart shall sing.

So burn up any hate

That may be left in the house of your heart

Let all fear fly away

Build your house of love from a new start.

A house of love

It is built to last

A house of love

It can happen so fast.

A house of love

Shelter from the storm.

A house of love

May it become the new norm.

 

 

 

 

What Love Made

Posted on by Carey S. Clark, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, RYT, FAAN

Take a look all around you

And with open wide open eyes

Heart open and present

Recognize what love made.

~

Love made two beautiful girls

With sparkling blue eyes

Hair of golden color

Smiles as wide as the sea.

~

Love made the sunrise this morning

Turning the clouds to vibrancy

Of oranges and pinks

Reminders of the brilliant day ahead.

~

Love is everywhere, present in all things

Turning buds into flowers, chicks into birds

Rising and lowering the tides

Burning up the old and creating space for the new.

~

This is what love made

See it right before your eyes

Marvel at in your sight

Express your gratitude for a world enveloped in love.

Will I Remember?

Posted on by Carey S. Clark, PhD, RN, AHN-BC, RYT, FAAN

Sitting in this body

Trying on a different life

Slowly I remember

What it used to be like…

And I am not sure which is better or worse,

But I do know there are different ways to be.

I wonder if I can remember

Why I came here, where I am headed

What will I end up being

My impact on this earth.

I do remember that love and joy

Striving for peace

They are important, essential for all.

Will I remember

To put these into daily practice

To return again and again

Will I remember

That some things just don’t matter

As much as I think they do.

To love, live, find peace

To be with family and friends

To eat well and be loved

To enjoy this precious body.

These form the basis of remeberance

Of simple steps toward healing and growth.

So you may not remember me when I am gone

All I left done and undone

But I hope to leave behind

Some sort of memory of love

Of peace

Of joy

Of hope.

So that you might remember as well…
