Walking to Find You

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

I’ve been walking for a long time – trying to find you.

I’d continue on, barefoot, waiting and searching, just to be with you.

So many miles, so many hills, I’ve searched.

There were many mountains I didn’t think I could climb.

When I found the summits, I couldn’t believe my eyes.

You were there, always with me.

I felt your presence, though it was not always so easy.

Winds tried to knock me down.

Storms blew by and I’d fall down, not sure if I could keep climbing up the hills.

Though, I knew one day I would find you.

I knew one day, we would meet.

I knew one day it would be easier.

One day it would all come together.

Love Songs

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Love can be whatever you want it to be.

It can be a mystery, or a sweet storybook fantasy.

Love is said to be patient and kind, but it can also feel sticky and bitter at times.

We want so badly to be in love, yet sometimes that is not as a simple as the words above.

Love can be whatever you want it to be.

Do you want it to be like a sweet lullaby?

It really is such a mystery.

Love is challenging, love is deep.

Love can be whatever you want it to be.

We always hope it will be easy.

You trust and give and lose so much sleep,

Yet, so easily, it can be lost like a ship at sea.

Though, it is okay, for there will always will be more love songs to play,

And once again, you can fall asleep while counting all of those fence jumping sheep, just hoping, one day, you can find your love again.

Love can be whatever you want it be…

So, what will it be?

Waiting for You

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

I waited for you, then I decided to search for you.

For years I looked.

For years I tried.

I finally found you, but it wasn’t the right time.

You wanted to come to me, but you just weren’t quite ready.

Its okay.

I will wait for you.

I can keep waiting, until the time is right, until you are ready.

Until then, I will be watching the sunrise and set, walking along the beaches, feeling the breeze, wishing you were here with me.

Until we meet again, I will hold you dearly, in my memory.

The Bridge of Wonder

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

This bridge, it is a magic bridge, it will lead you to places you’ve never been to before.

It will take you to a world full of wonder, with so many new places to explore.

You will see magic like you thought was only in fairy tales.

Your wildest dreams will come to life and take you away, like nothing you’ve ever imagined could be true.

Walk over this bridge and don’t look back.

One step forward and no steps back.

Count to three and close your eyes.

Here we go, tell all your fears goodbye.

One step, two steps, here we go, no looking back, onward we go.

-M.

Sunset to Sunrise

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

Sun, when you fall, I don’t know what to do.

I want to catch you in my hands, and set you back into place, among those brightly colored clouds, in that ever present sky.

The colors that you bring, when you set, are unbelievable.

Then, again, when you rise, I am in awe.

You bring beauty and life, for us all.

The colors sing to my eyes.

My soul feels the joy of each night and new morning, sky.

Yet, I still feel as though, when you fall, I must catch you.

I watch as you decent and disappear, to who knows where.

There are stories of the sea taking you, but they must just be tales.

For you wake us up each morning with your glowing breath of life.

Wherever you go, whatever you do, I am grateful for you, for all that you do.

Sun, thank you.

I love you, I really, truly do.

Running Away

Posted on by Healing Creations PNW

With the waves chasing me, I ran away from you.

Hoping you would try to chase me, I kept looking back at you.

Laughing at myself, and not knowing what you would do, I took off my boots and ran barefoot, in the grainy, dry sand.

Hoping you would see how much the waves wanted to catch me, I ran closer to the waters edge, to show you I was not worth losing.

I continued on this quest, seeking your love and adoration.

The foam caught my toes, it was soft, cold and wet compared to all the grainy, dry sand.

You were not interested in being a chaser, as you continued on, focusing only on what was in front of you.

I saw you looking the other way.

Wandering slowly in the other direction, your attention focused on your own path.

Not sure what to make of it, I let the daunting pull of the waves take me further and further away.

You sometimes glimpsed at me, but only before the waves captured me, and not with much interest, only a slight curiosity like a parent keeping track of a child.

The waves pulled me under.

You didn’t even notice.

You kept walking, at a pace that was steadily, taking you further and further away.

Not even my flirtation with death made you hurry along, to be closer to me.

Maybe there is no hope of you chasing me, after-all.

Or maybe, I should be walking slowly and steadily, in the opposite direction, knowing that I don’t need you, after-all.

Hearing the waves crashing, I knew the answer, and it was not to follow you.

It was not to follow anyone at all.

It was time to find peace, with my own solitude.

Out of the waves, onto the beach, I walked, I walked away from you, further and further away.

With the waves still chasing me, I focused on my own path, knowing the love I was seeking could be found within me.

Knowing this, I smiled, to myself, feeling the peace, in this knowing, drenched from the waves, feet covered in sand, I knew I was complete.
