Honesty Is A Lost Art
Carol Huizinga Jan 2011
Honesty is a lost art
Nobody wants the part
We are all actors
No attention to factors
We forget what it is to feel
Now we just want to steal
Floundering through life
Stabbing others with our knife
Wasting away inside
Stopping to say we did try
What did we stop and do
Except be so totally untrue
Wow that is the new fashion
Sending many hearts smashing
Selfishness is the treason
That is the only reason
We plant these seeds
To flourish the field in weeds
We blow them across the land
In these weeds we take our stand
We nourish our sorrow, our pain
Excusing our plans of future gain
I may at times stumble
My heart may rumble
But I am glad this one I walk alone
Going to sit upon my favorite stone
Watching the flowers wave in the breeze
Spreading there pollen to make me sneeze
I rest upon a bed of rose petals
For no less again will I settle
I am worthy of much more
Than the weeds you pick and store
So as we harvest our crops
My life blooms, your life stops
Exactly where you left it
Collecting the weeds where you sit
So I bid you farewell
My flowers are to0 pretty not to smell
I go without causing harm, no foul
Should've believed I threw in the towel

I fell in love with a ghost
It was a harder lesson than most
We walked centuries before
I had no idea this was in store
Glimpses of the warrior's being
Sent my soul seeking and seeing
A small reflection of what used to be
It did carry my soul for a time in me
But then the shadows would return
The flames to my soul it did burn
How could you lose this battle
Hanging your sword upon the mantle
Why did the shadow take you away
Where I am afraid you will forever stay
I cannot tell you the answer is near
Your true soul I will always hold dear
I will love this ghost warrior for life
Sending him blessings in his strife
Hoping one day he will find the way
In truth his being will live again in day
I can wish it were different
That I made an impact on time spent
But in pain and shadows I cannot live
To the human race I have to give
The ability to walk on this sacred ground
Not desecrate the gifts given nor that I have found
Loving a ghost is like loving a dream
The warrior lost the battle of esteem
Loving the memory of what once was
Is not enough to continue this cause
Without bringing me to the shadows
Instead of riding in the sweet meadows
I haven't lost my sword nor light
I do falter sometimes in the fight
But the darkness cannot win within me
Plainly it was never meant to be
Angels in droves surround me within
Leaving you never felt like a human sin
All your conscious answers were here
Instead you held your shadows near
Hopefully in the next life ahead
The shadows will not keep your soul dead
Because the world is missing your sword's touch
But mostly we all miss the ghost of you so much
I wish the world did not take it's toll
Forever I will love the ghost of your true soul
But in this human race
I no longer see your face

At times when I was a child
They all thought I was a little wild
My mother thought I touched evil
To me this was unbelievable
I heard the voices in my head
Sometimes they were from the dead
Clearly they were speaking to me
Showing me what they wanted me to see
I tried to run and hide
Not understanding they were on my side
Crying myself to sleep
Hoping not to hear the floor creep
My door never to open wide
With no sight of something on the other side
So often I was misunderstood
I walked beneath my own hood
Covering my true self
Only to lose my good health
Withering I cowered in the dark
My human steps lost the spark
Thank goodness the voices never stopped
My tears they forever mopped
Somewhere in my mind clouded mind
I was shown I was one of a kind
Now when the voices in my head speak
People lay their hand upon my cheek
In earnest they listen to the words
Now people know I am not absurd
I have proven to them the other side
I am not taking them on a ride
They now have the choice
To listen to their angel’s voice

A butterfly landed on me today
Truly he made my day
I spoke with him awhile
What he told me made me smile
He said nothing in this world matters
We must end our constant chatter
To be able to open and see
All the glorious beauty to be
His message was something to grasp
The peace he brought me is to last
For it's not everyday I can say
Something precious came my way
That is why I know he was angel sent
His colors were so unique and different
To bring joy and happiness to my heart
So I would never walk a different start
Being one within God's adoring love
Knowing I have the ability to rise above
I am so truly blessed he came to me
Truth and compassion are meant to be
Like him I am unique in all I say
Angels' love on my journey everyday
I know my way of life is a choice
Moving people with my voice
Loving as we walk hand in hand
Like a butterfly across this land
Spreading laughter and joy
Like an innocent child with a toy
My words may be easy to conceive
But how many can truly receive
Expressions of love to behold
I am richer than all the world's gold
The truth is always within sight
As a butterfly my soul takes flight
It is so truly wonderful this day
That he decided to come my way
I am blessed to walk this earth
Until God takes me for my rebirth
Light dancing across my face
He then fluttered away in grace
Magic and miracles will never end
Goodbye my little butterfly friend
Carol Huizinga 2009......dedicated to Marlene who lost the battle to cancer in fall 2009, I so miss your sweet smile.

Great mother's spirit speaks through my word
What she transpires truly needs to be heard
We do not worship the greatness of our earth
Instead we fight endlessly over our own turf
Paying huge money traveling to **** her game
Mounting it on the wall to feel our own fame
Stripping trees from her precious mountains
Halting the streams flowing freely as fountains
Animals not a special totem nor a spiritual sign
How as people to her did we become so blind
Lazily no longer a society working our hands
To our continuous **** and pillage of this land
Mother's spirits watching from heaven so high
If only we could see the saddened tears she does cry
Feverishly to awaken they shake they shout
Ignoring the signs we continuously move about
Mother Earth unleashes to us her greatest fury
Oh it didn't affect my life so why should I worry
Spiritual masters try to teach peace and insight
But even they are overwhelmed to our plight
Under our own convictions this life will shatter
Grieving misunderstood lies we are so battered
Maybe we will then stop to look for redemption
She can wash us in forgiveness and exemption
Replenishing spirit in our mind body and soul
Might then we reach our destiny our final goal
Mother Earth patiently taking her sweet time
Hoping one day we set forth to go back to find
Our own spirits whispers of truth and integrity
Before unleashing her fury with no great pity
She's offered us many occasions to save face
Walking the ancient ways of her humble grace
Please listen to Mothers whispers in my voice
Before we are simply doomed with no choice

My best friend
Carol Huizinga Dec 2011
Silence
it's a best friend,
within silence lies a beauty
untouched,
the most exquisite moments
never need words,
nor explanations!
Or others silence may seem deafening,
but listening to it speaks volumes, 
moments of silence either way are victory!
It just may not have been the silence
you wanted to hear!

Vastness Of Life
Carol Huizinga Mar 2010
In my little world I hear the birds serenade my soul

I hear the wind whispering through the trees

I see the sparkles of the morning dew making diamonds in the grass

I smell the freshness of the rain falling down around me

I see the butterflies dancing in delight across this earth

I see the wisdom in the great owl teaching me silence

I see the great eagle who teaches me to soar and spread my wings

I feel the sun bringing me warmth and illumination

I see the moon and feel the great mystery he beholds

I see the vastness of my life when gazing upon the stars

Most of all I see God and love in all I see and will be

And that is why I truly love just being me
Carol Huizinga 2009, dedicated to Amanda, this one I wrote a little different and it became her wedding vows, when I married her and Byron.
Carol Huizinga Mar 2010
Today I came across a beautiful bird
It started talking to me; how absurd
He said people are so caught up in strife
Not enjoying the simpler moments of life
No longer as a people do we feel deep joy
Children no longer making their own toys
We sit them in front of cable television
Wondering why hate is all they can envision
Eating fast food from boxes in microwaves
We truly wonder why we are early to the grave
Doctors get paid extra to make us addicts
Pain and suffering is running so tragic
This gorgeous bird hopped onto my shoulder
Him and I chatted of life's huge boulders
He said people used to simply cover their ****
Now we are selfish over the almighty coin
Days are gone of fresh food from our gardens
Now we are just a lost society hardened
We talked about how nobody looked at the stars
No more fantasy only dreams seemingly so far
We wondered why we were far from the norm
Why people cannot sit to enjoy a perfect storm
The bird and I came to the conclusion
That compassion and love are just an illusion
How much longer before this insanity stops
Before our life burdens are too heavy to drop
The bird chirped a little music in my ear
He told me I have nothing in this world to fear
My eyes were open I could truly see
The beauty of what spirit provided me
Grateful of blessings and gifts given to us
In angel spirits my soul will always trust
My little bird, sadly he soared up and above
But not before he embraced me in total love
I will never forget this little bird
Nor the kindness to me of his word

Carol Huizinga Mar 2010
As a child I thought they stole
The true essence of my soul
I walked without innocence
Listening in vain for my penance
Searching I journeyed to and fro
To realize I had no great place to go
I wandered through my emotions
Which sent my life in locomotion
Not being quite able to see
The beauty that was within me
People would tell me I was a gift
My mind blocking it I would go stiff
Surley if they could see the past
The love for me would never last
Not once did I see my own light
I was way too caught up in my own fight
One wretching hurt sent me stopping
I finally seen all my own mocking
Sick and depressed my heart was crushed
I wanted dearly to become a drunken lush
I was tired of carrying this extra person
A deep look inside sent me cursing
Nobody on this earth can take away
The God soul given to me that day
Still as innocent as freshly first birthed
When I crossed this threshold to earth
I did allow my emotions to take it all on
When it was their burden for the wrongs
Being grateful not resentful towards them
I finally saw I was a beautiful shinning gem
Daily I learn this human suit I am to wear
Has no bearing on the soul I have to bare
With my angels we keep it locked and stored
I see the reflections now on my own accord
What the world thinks of me or this poem
It has no bearing on how I am going home
The voice whispers innocence within my mind
Beauty and grace is my angel soul intertwined
Channeling spirits from above where I belong
Speaking this truth I will forever stand strong
This battle of emotions never happening again
For now I see I am a true princess within

Soul Scissors
Carol Huizinga Jul 2010
You attached the beautiful spiraling string
Waiting for life, what it will bring
Like a puppet I dance the fight
Not to get tangled within your sight
Grasping, you pulled, I flew up high
Your lips bringing me to a soft sigh
Glimmers within your eyes
Those depths are my ties
I leap, I bound
Scissors not quite yet found
Why can you not feel the direction?
Make the simple connection
Can you not see how far it can go?
In beauty our souls can flow
Will you pull my string under?
In your thinking blunder
Or will you pull me within
Feel me like it’s not a sin
See me, mind open wide
Wearing gloves so you don’t slide
Down the spiraling string of life
Within your own soul's strife
You hold the scissors above
Simply I am the love

Soul Signature

Upon the one you love
Bare no judgement

Flow from a grace

Why do I walk away?
Carol Huizinga Jul 2010
I bow my head before the alter
Sometimes I feel like I falter
Asking for guidance from high
So even to myself I do not lie
I sometimes feel lost and alone
Oh God what do I need to atone?
Blinded to only my footprints in the sand
I lost the grip of your kind hand
The diamonds have lost the sparkling light
Only the thunder and lightning left to fight
I crisscross each section
Of my emotion dejection
To find only it was I who let go
Simply that was the hardest blow
Why would I purposely walk away
From the love that forever has stayed
Seemingly I forgot the most basic rule
Leaving behind me the most important tool
I am created in perfection at it's best
Simply I have no need to feel anything less
From angels I am created in love
Answers coming quickly from above
I no longer stand dejected nor meek
It is peace and grace I will forever seek
Freedom in expressing who I am
Is now where I take my stand
If you have no understanding of this
You will never know my true bliss
I grasp tightly once again to the hand
Standing tall in pride of who I am
So my advice to you this day
Listen to the whispers follow the way
It will never lead you wrong
Be the only artist who writes your song

As I Close My Eyes
Carol Huizinga Mar 2010
I lie my head upon my pillow
I think of this imaginary fellow
I have faith he is coming my way
Unbecoming thoughts I need to keep at bay
It is so easy to feel not good enough
My looks compared to society is tough
Because inner beauty no longer means much
Nobody understands a compassionate touch
Clothes more expensive than our rent
I think people have become a litte bent
No longer does the world shoot from the heart
We worry more what is on the wall for art
Children being taught so young to model
Plastic parents those we do need to throttle
We are teaching beauty is only skin deep
Pop a few more pills it will help you be sleek
My fellow he will stop inside and see
The difference between them and me
That nothing else in this life will matter
Nor in this world will he ever feel battered
He will forever know I am a gift from above
I will wash his feet in the purest love
My man will know my heart can never be sold
He seeks with me a true passion to unfold
Spirit sought this soul to mirror only mine
Knowing our unity in this heaven will be divine
Reflections of love within our beautiful eyes
Our souls are bare no need to be in disguise
He knows I will never think to close the door
It will not matter whether we are rich or poor
There is no better place for him to be
Than coming home to be with me
So as I close my eyes to go to sleep
I send him the sweetest dreams to keep
Until he is once again within my arms
Flames from our fire setting off the alarms
So I may never be a pretty barbie doll
Nor do I love to go shopping at the mall
But I see the beauty in the smallest things
Angels gave unto me the truest music to sing
For my words will only be spoken to the one
Who is willing to live in the warmth of my sun

A unfinished piece
Carol Huizinga Dec 2011
Life's strenuous milestones 
At times chill us to the bone
Were no longer soft and pliable
Seeing that nothing in life is reliable
Tornados swirl around our thoughts
Our heart and soul feel wrought
Nothing glistens within our smile
Anger and betrayal leave us riled
One shadow after another we gain 
Surrounding our soul in a black stain
True love a memory diminished 
Our lives like this poem left unfinished

Designs Of Sand
Carol Huizinga Jan 2011
The wind whispered a grain of sand
From his tightly woven hand
Sending it spiraling towards the earth
Was this the time of his rebirth?
He needed to seek and to find
The new ideas upon his mind
Preparing morter for a new foundation
Constructing the true gift of elation
Eyes glistening like sapphire jewels
He glanced around for new tools
He realizes there is no atonement
Armor not needed in future moments
Darkness of previous times has ended
Within the light he has ascended
No longer lost nor buried in the sand
Ready now to take charge of his land
Unaware of the sweat upon his cheek
He climbs knowing the path is never too steep
For within the whispers of the wind
He knows no beginning nor an end
Grasping again to the hilt of his sword
Knowing sadness never again to be lord
Now he sees every grain of sand
Sparkling like diamonds in his hand
His soul returned to it's innocent grace
Smiles again cross this handsome face
Written January 2011
Carol Huizinga Mar 2010
In sadness I cry
For once again I tried
Interpret the signs
Of a love that binds
To touch a part
Of my heart
That has never been found
Still listening forthe sound
I move forward on
Seeking the new dawn
Washing away the pain
Of the truth I cannot gain
One day I will learn
To call the one I yearn
He is waiting for me
I need to open and see
Stop wasting time
On the ones who don't rhyme
With the sounds of my soul
Standing in truth of my goal
I look behind no more
On the wings of a dove I soar
Angels pick up my feet
Showing the trail is never too steep
For the love I have within
Never to share would be a sin
I am so cherished and loved
I fit in my angel wings like a glove
So as I bow my head
The tears are dead
What will be will be
As God walks with me
Holding my hand
As I cross this land
Once again
I begin
Listening for the sound
Of where my soul is bound

Which Direction Do I Seek
Carol Huizinga Jan 2011
Feels like I've never been this confused in my world
I feel like a childish little girl
Wandering emotions I don't want to touch
Please can my mind not be hushed
Your spoken words have blown my mind
Speaking of misunderstandings I cannot find
In the beginning it was all so simple
Now it is like digging for a lost temple
I don't know how to proceed
How to pick out the bad reeds
Inside I am burning resentment
Really why am I not feeling contentment
Approach is all you needed to change
To keep me within your range
Now I am lost, running, fleeing
Because of what I am seeing
But, there is always a but, you see
I know life begins within me
Looking forward to a new dawn
Fresh dew sparkling on the lawn
As I lie upon this broken ground
What was lost will be found
I am unsure what your future will be
You cannot only have pieces of me
Your energy must come up and around
Or forever you're lost, not to be found
Again the sword sweeps to search to and fro
Which direction do I send it to go
Inside I know though I feel so alone
With my heart just wanting to quit, turn to stone
I will walk a little further on
Knowing they'll bring me a true bond
That is all I have to say
As I walk forward on this day

Tommorow is another day
Carol Huizinga Jul 2010
Today I am tired
I wish I were fired
So I could do nothing at all
Just into my bed I'd fall
Pick up my favorite book
Not caring how I look
Just relax in a dreamy daze
Trickling through my mind's maze
Tomorrows another day
Energy will return my way
I will return to this human race
Even have a smile on my face
But for today I am going to stay
Keeping everything far at bay
Curled up by the blazing fire
Of that I could never tire
Sometimes it is awesome to be alone
Giggling when I ignore the phone
Rejuvenate my body's lack of sleep
Oh sometimes hiding is so sweet
I bid you farewell at this time
So I can go back and find my ryhme

Stopping For Regret
Carol Huizinga Mar 2010
Please tell me how many men I have to kiss
Before I find one like you I missed
I still remember the fever of your touch
I wanted to walk with you that day so much
Softly you placed your hand upon my arm
Your muscles rippling from working on the farm
Innocently you grazed my lips with a kiss
All I could feel was a spiraling unknown bliss
Oh my God handsome this was all so wrong
Your passionate grip made me feel I belong
My mind was reeling but I had to walk away
I was in a relationship I could not stay
You are simply my one and only life regret
Although it is something I did learn to accept
I couldn't explore that fire in my own fashion
Although you are the first to match my passion
Imagine the places we could have explored
Leaving you that day I truly wanted to ignore
From that point on I was ruined for life
I was so unwilling to become an ordinary wife
I answered that nagging question in my mind
That neither you or myself were one of a kind
Men always becoming obsessed with my soul
I cannot feel their light only a sinking hole
I tried many times to hide my own feelings
But the lack of depth sends my heart fleeing
To this day I still search with a longing
Knowing it is out there I feel it so strongly
I need to feel a sweet angel touch my skin
To ignite that passion buried now deeply within
Healing and growing I have no need to hurry
Soon spirit will gift a gentleman to my journey
We will explore more than the first sweet kiss
Trust me when I say this one I will not miss
I know the difference of what love I need
I will no longer allow my inner being to bleed
I am worthy of great abundance from above
For the angels taught me the gift of true love

Back to my world I go
Carol Huizinga Sep 2010
Why did I?
Maybe because I wanted to try
Step out of the world I live
In many ways I am not sorry I did
Reflections of what I touch
Shining within me so much
What is so hard to understand?
The capabilities of this land
I see through different eyes
Only to myself did I lie
No one else to blame
I still remain the same
Or do I?
Why then do I cry?
I wanted the illusion
Of a true intrusion
To the depth of my being
What I am constantly seeing
Simply not so
Back into my world I go!

Belief
Carol Huizinga Dec 2011
Why do people not believe in mystery?
It has been around in all the history
Seen in the beginning of all creation 
From the first cells of gestation
Time and time again we've seen proof
Yet we as humans remain aloof
My eyes always remain surprised
How many people are disguised
Into believing science is the be all
Until angels save us from our fall

Wisdom Coming From Above
Carol Huizinga Mar 2010
Walking down the river bed
I was trying to clear my head
Allowing good energy to flow
White spiraling light aglow
Trees stood around on tower
I stopped to smell a flower
I gazed into the river at the fish
Stopping long enough to make a wish
A prayer to my God above
To surround me in unconditional love
I felt his hand hold onto mine
Knowing nothing could stop my time
My soul truly does fly free
Heaven walks daily with me
I hope my words do not get caught
Within society's listless thoughts
I would lose my mind
True peace never to find
I no longer need to fight
People nor the world's plight
Tears will spill over the sins
Of how hatred and war wins
My spirit flowing on river tides
With pure energy I will glide
I will forever try to reach
Society's people I can teach
No longer needing to live in pain
They need no more blood to stain
For now along the river bed
They walk clearing their heads
Stopping only to smell the flowers
Truly feeling peace and power
Spirit whispers them above
To touch their own angels' love
Now they truly understand me
With all the beauty I do see

A Brand of Man
Carol Huizinga Dec 2011
In the old time west
Man was at his best 
In the wake of the new dawn
Cowboys were filled with pride and brawn

Riding across the grassy range
They thought naught much of change
Man's promise's was his word
His voice was always heard

The fire within the night 
Kept him warm till light 
Old bones spoke of times past
The creak of a saddle was to last

Generations of spirits walk
Within a cowboys talk
They are a different breed
Riding there grande steeds

Passion lights within those eyes
Campfire stories of all they tried 
Strength and courage go beyond
The reflection you see in the pond 

They know and feel a real romance
In this truth they take the stance
Family and pride is not kept at bay
Within those lines he never strays 

For what is ingrained he will do battle
Whether for wife, family or cattle
For this is the cowboy way
Still on the range to this day

Crossroads Ahead
Carol Huizinga Mar 2011
Inside I am empty and drained
My tears flow like fallen rain
I see the pool of water at my feet
As I look for the sign of the next street
I am trying hard not to be bitter
Not clogging my head with litter
I do not want to trip and fall
Hitting my head on the walls
It hurts and cuts way too deep
The downfalls I refuse to reap
I will surely take the higher road
I don't want extra baggage on this load
I can untangle the web I have weaved
In this I am truly relieved
My feet ladened move on ahead
For I refuse to live as if I am dead
Beyond I see the crossroads before me
Continuing forward I see what is meant to be
Street lights make my way bright
For future steps to take flight
Soon the trail of tears will cease
Then I will feel the true release
I will again walk on sacred ground
Inner peace again the only sound
Then others will follow in my prints
In the eyes I see the sparkling glints
Rain no longer falls down our cheeks
We now have only beauty and light to seek

Spirit Warrior
Carol Huizinga Sep 2010
Comprehend the fight
In trying to make it all right
Growing up feeling alone
What you see, chills to the bone
Your path never an easy walk
Hard to find your voice to talk
Never truly expressing your sight
Of what you see in darkness and light
The dreams in your sleep
Make your soul constantly weep
I dropped by to tell you a little story
Of a knight surrounded in glory
I’ve seen the beauty of your soul
Within the energy waves my angels hold
They told me to whisper in your ear
Remind you of how God holds you dear
In simple pride you must stand tall
The beauty you show us all to reach
Spoken words of truth to us you teach
The love and devotion you give so much
Really makes the difference to all you touch
There will never be anything less
For you have always been blessed
Swing upon your white stallion
Show you wear God’s medallion
As you're running through the fields
Know you're within God’s shield
You only need to see and believe
It’s always been there for you to receive
I see you running strong and free my friend
Beauty and magnificence never to end
Within the grace of his hand
Your steed carries you across this land

One Heart
Carol Huizinga Sep 2010
Our heart’s depth will shine
Illuminating miracles of light
Mirroring the truth of our lives
In a sparkling diamond mist
Souls merging in a dance
Intertwining our energies
To the lullaby in our souls
Merging the sweetness of bliss
Spiraling kindness and compassion
Engendering a magical world
Existing only in truth
To this warrior I give my heart, my soul
My heart, my soul never given to another
For truly only he will seek
The wisdom in the mirror
Reflecting our spirits' journey
Toward enlightenment
Binding our heart into one beat
I listen for the sound of our drum
For the legend has been told
The love will never cease
Redefining what to society
Is only a single word?
Our souls' eyes will teach
What the world yearns
In earnest to reach
The uniqueness of soul
As one we are complete
I will journey this earth
Within your angel wings
I have waited long
Only to simply learn
I have nothing within you to fear
Unto your eyes
I have no disguise
Until my last breath
Whispering in the wind
Will my love for you end

Hey Did You Know It?
Carol Huizinga Sep 2010
Hey did you know I was a poet
Some of you might have known it
One day I started to write a few lines
My goodness they really did rhyme
I might put them all in a book
If you’re lucky I will give you a look
But then you will have to see
How ******* up I can be
Or maybe you would see how deep
Reading how my soul likes to creep
In cracks and crevices of the mind
Emotions I like to send you to find
My words may or may not have meaning
I cannot please you all I am no genie
I am sure one of you will dwell within
Come on lets go look beyond; it is no sin
Feel the infinity of your own wave
Before you go to your human grave
Let the spirit bubbles overflow
Watch how you will begin to glow
You just might find who you are
Seeing peace was never too far
Before you go wouldn’t it be nice to know
The grace of love was not just a show
You can still be an angel and devil like me
As long as your true self shines for all to see
so you might not like my rhyme
But we so do thank you for your time
I pray, I hope, your love and learning never end
Blessings I send to all of you my sweet dear friends

Love Whispers
Carol Huizinga Jan 2011
Love whispers softly
As we enjoy our morning coffee
The sparkle in your eye
When you hug and touch me goodbye
The smile that comes upon my face
When my mind drifts in your space
Watching you stand proud and tall
Ready to take on them all
The sweet kiss upon my lips
You hands on my body running amiss
Shivers from your touch
Make me realize so much
Forever a soft place to lie my heart
Something no one can part
A special place only we know
I've been hit by the arrow of your bow
I have touched something unique
Now my journey is complete
Because now love whispers softly
While we drink our morning coffee

Running Wolf
Carol Huizinga Sep 2010
This is the true story of the way
My imaginary circle began this day
My soul was seeking the light
Cold and shivering in the night
This path was meant to be
My spirit like the wind was free
Tears of sadness ran down my face
Depression crept around my space
Alone my soul wandered in time
My mind trying to find the rhyme
I am strong enough to follow this choice
I sat quietly listening for the voice
My human being crying in pain
Screaming what do I have to gain
I prayed in earnest for the sight
Of an eagle to journey within flight
Rising above this place called earth
I searched the darkness for my rebirth
Clouds parted I could begin to see
The moon in mystery speaking to me
Like the beautiful petals of a flower
I started to feel my own power
New blood coursed through my veins
The great spirit easing my strain
No longer a man who walks this land
I now stand a warrior in full command
My soul intertwined in a new love
Honored in wisdom from above
My soul seeks beauty on this earth
I thank the great spirit for my rebirth
For within my imaginary circle of space
I found the innocence of my own grace
As a warrior I will forever behold
The truth of my own soul
Written 2009 for a friend who went on a 4 day journey in the wilderness to find his soul.  This poem is his native name given to him later on his journey.
Carol Huizinga Mar 2011
In fleeting moments I have read

That your soul is not dead

Intrige spreads across the page

I see you wanting out of your cage

Time to honor your journey of soul

So once again you will live whole

I see hope of a new promise

With a man named Sir Thomas

I saw those sad eyes many years ago

Only your sail goes the way it knows

It shall be interesting where the tide will take

Really it is only the shadow you will forsake

A ladder has been given to climb the wall

Will you give a hand?  Or watch it once again fall?
Written 2011
Carol Huizinga Jan 2011
In darkness I lie my head to sleep
Cannot always bring light to those who weep
Stumbling souls lost to human pains
Thinking only toward the insane
Emptiness in their emotion
Hoping for a new mixed potion
To bring them luck
Instead of being hit by a truck
Little do they realize and know
It's themselves who give the final blow
Hope is not a lost art
It is the place to start
To grow and prosper
Get your name on the roster
Live and learn
Or forever yearn

Never is my Vow
Carol Huizinga Oct 2010
You cannot hurt me
Because I can see
Within my soul
Others may not be gold
I am not blinded
Do you need to be reminded?
My lesson is learnt
This heart is not burnt
Nor will it ever
Hurt to that endeavor
Mirror mirror on the wall
I will never take that fall
I wiped away those stains
Never to produce pain
To another
Not you, nor sister, or brother
From very young that was my vow
Because of this I live in the NOW
I love those who cross my path
Good or bad you do the math
Questions? Do leopards change their spots
Or should they just be forgot
Left in the huge worldly pile
Of unawakened minds who cannot smile
Written 2010

If only people could understand
Messages that cross this land
That there is not always a wow
When I sit before you in a bow
Angels speak across my mind
Trying to alleviate the bind
It is not always want we want to hear
As I watch your fallen tears
If you're blocked at this point
Your angels will not cross this joint
They will not tell history or ahead
Until you clear the cloud in your head
I wish I could perform the miracle you wish
I do bring to you food on a dish
But because you wish to hear different
Your energy will always be spent
I give you answers to your pain
But to you it seems lame
I am sorry you could not be open
As I watch you loping
Running far from you and me
So inside you will never see
Such a shame you ran away
It was a beautiful moment for you to gain
To reach that power you have inside
Realize your pain and cries
Are awaiting to be washed away
All you needed was to say
I am open, I can heal
No moments will again will it steal
To this negative earth we walk
In our angels we need to talk
The love and abundance we would feel
Would feed our next emotion meal
Healing and growing we would move on
Enjoying the dew of the new dawn
I always will do the best I can
To make you understand
I am not always the answer
For truly you are the dancer
I see what is needing
For you to stop bleeding
Only you can apply the bandage
If you could only manage
You would see the gift of love
I gave you from above
It is the answer you needed to see
You only just needed to be
I am sorry to you my friend
Prayers to you I forever send
To you I am not good enough
Lessons for you are too tough
That I cannot help
It is your hand dealt
I only try my best
I will never give any less
I am who I am
In this I take my stand
It is a gift from above
Only you cannot see the love
That is not my fault
You do not open your vault
I walk away strong and free
And you walk too blind to see

Simple Connections
Carol Huizinga Oct 2010
Pictures flash across my mind
Understanding I must find
I stand alone in this fight
Nobody can help with this sight
I want so much to believe
The words I want to retrieve
So the words become normal
Nothing fancy or formal
Just something within me
Lasting forever to be
Opening the flood gate
To my true destiny and fate
To the truth of my whole
That is my final goal
Shining not only for others
But in my own love I smother
Show the laughter and the joy
Not be like a decoy
Show the love I have been given
You’d understand how I've been livin'
How one tiny miniscule thing
Truly brings my soul to sing
For to it all I am connected
Nothing is ever rejected
Lessons are always taken
Never be mistaken
I am full of gratitude
Constantly changing my attitude
Enjoying the small joys of soul
Making me a better whole

Retreating
Carol Huizinga Jan 2011
I wait so patiently
for the world to see
what I do know
it is such a blow
I listen to empty words
lies only to be heard
I wait for honor to win
seemingly that is now a sin
tick tock goes the clock
my heart turns to rock
slowly it stops beating
my life is retreating
saying it's last goodbyes
as I close my eyes
I gave up my life
to show you no strife
it was always your choice
to finally be the voice

Z
Watching your hair whispering in the wind
The blonde, the silver flying like sin
Before me you stand so tall and proud
You mirror my spirit so strong and loud
The kindness in your brown eyes I am bound
Teaching me lessons I have not yet found
You carry me to places I have never been
Leaving me dumbfounded with a silly grin
When my energy is not quite right
Your energy is about to take flight
Ready to stand up to me with your strength
Taking me to my emotional length
Generations stand behind you
Making your spirit pure and true
I climb upon your back
You always pick up all my slack
Wind whipping across my face
Tears stream from your present grace
Thankful that your spirit chooses me
Teaching me how beautiful it is just to be
We ride fast and furious
Leaving behind only the curious
Written 2010, to my best friend, my horse, the most beautiful palamino!!!!
Carol Huizinga Sep 2010
I see the point of direction
You visualize the pieces the sections
Of the puzzle you have been given
Although some of it remains hidden
I need to keep my soul free in flight
You struggle in what is wrong and right
In me there is so much more
When I finally stop having to close the door
When you might actually truly feel
What reality of what is real
There is only you and me
What exactly is meant to be
Neither of us knowing
Except what they, and we are showing
But sometimes we get off track
This I know as a fact
We each need to lead and follow
Each of us new things to swallow
We think, we ponder, we analyze
Me I know within what lies
Just as you know your ties
But unless we learn together
It will never be tethered
For us we both need the piece
Within each other’s reach
Trust in what is being shown
It will not be forever on a loan
IT is given as a fleeting chance
For us to have the first dance
IN whom we truly are
Yet we both keep so afar
Why do we ponder such a gift?
When we have been given a free lift
To rise above the given task
Instead of hiding within masks
Only time will tell the story
If we lose or win the glory

Internet Crossings
Carol Huizinga Sep 2010
I could spend many hours writing to you
But in the end I would start to feel blue
Without the hope of holding your hand
I might as well bury my body in sand
For writing my mind, my soul, my thoughts
Only gives me memories of what I don’t got
I cannot give up my hope to go on
It is the only way to never give up my song
On this site I could have many friends
But that is not the way I want it to end
I want to meet somebody one day
I give my heart, soul, body to stay
I will never stop believing prayers are answered from above
It’s the only thing keeping my smile, my soul flying like a dove
When you read my words
It makes your spirit fly like a bird
I know you understand
You are a kind considerate man
If you cannot open your heart
Just tell me from the start
I will walk away moving on
Nothing is lost, nothing is gone
I would be happy you understand part of me
We could touch, we could feel and see
You’re an angel of light I can see that even tho we are apart
I am thankful for that opportunity of growth in my heart
You’re not ready to explore your heart in your hand
So I am bound to keep walking across this land

Death By Love
Carol Huizinga Mar 2010
In that moment I felt all your strife
As I felt the blade of your knife
Cut through the heart of my soul
You never understanding it's true role

My blood spilling on the floor
You turned your back on all we adored
What changed that moment of life
Making you see only the blade of your knife

Innocence is now but a torrid scar
Everybody's gaze lands on me from afar
You took the beauty from my sleep
Nightmares just make me want to leap

You were lord and master of this house
Me and the kids tip toed like a mouse
Your every desire your every wish
I served the next meal upon your dish

No longer am I who I was inside
You took away every ounce of self pride
But that moment they took me out that door
My true light and soul started to soar

Never again will I feel your pain
No more of my soul will you gain
My spirit soars above the clouds
I now speak my truth out loud

I walk this journey now alone
No more sins do I need to atone
This thing: freedom, I this day do feel
No more laughter will you steal

My children's innocence need not halt
I must teach them it is not their fault
They must learn to see beauty within
On that day their life will truly begin

Now you will understand my cage
There who will put up with your rage
You stare wistful through those bars
Finally we see the beauty of the stars

I pray everday to my God above
In his grace I will lay my love
Everyday we become stronger
In fear we live no longer

I am looking for special things
That will allow my true soul to bring
Peace and happiness to all I employ
Living in complete and utter joy
Will this person come my way
Within my journey on this day
Does he live within the light
Allowing his soul to take flight
Not living within society's norm
He sets himself apart from the storm
His boat will never sink
To caring what others think
For inside he stands in truth
Knowing he needs not to be a sleuth
To enjoy living with the wings
Of what true love will forever bring
So to some it may seen sad
But to me I am so very glad
I have the patience to wait
Until he comes to open my gate
For my love has never died
It has been tucked away inside
A warrior somewhere has this key
He and I will both know it is meant to be
God will be strumming our guitar
Satisfaction will only be ours
The world will see the passion we uphold
Allowing others to be so bold
To seach for what lies within the soul
Never falling into the gaping holes
Within his light we will always mingle
This journey he will know we do not walk single
We are always within the wings
Of what goodness he does bring
We just need to stand up to our hearts
Never being emarrassed to share those parts
His blessings will never end
His perfect love he will always send
One day he will bring this warrior my way
I know he will be the one to forever stay
Never bending to society's fight
I stand forever within his faith and light

Gifted From Beyond
Carol Huizinga Sep 2010
Angel's love is in my soul
Sometimes the world just takes its toll
I hear their whispers in my ear
But I am too busy with my fallen tears
My mind conspires against itself
With the negativity it has been dealt
I struggle in the darkness of night
Hoping soon again I will see some light
The tangled web I seem to weave
Breaking their hold trying hard to achieve
To run away from the pain
Being cleansed by angel's fallen rain
Reaching, striving, fighting tooth and nail
I climb, I crawl so slow like a snail
Every day I try to let their brightness shine in
The more I do I feel I wasn’t born a sin
My angels are my guardians, my friends
With their love there is no beginning, no end
No judgements are whispered across the wind
I need only to feel worthy of the greatness they ascend
I am no longer lost, in angels I am found
Destined to show their greatness I am bound

Please carry me home
Carol Huizinga Jul 2010
I try so hard to have faith
Struggling light in my space
My emotions receive
My heart on my sleeve
I carry this burden inside
My tears are no longer dried
Screaming I question why
Understanding I so try
Everyday I am on my knees
Begging God to give me the keys
Why is it not meant to be
What is wrong with me
I gave it to you
I prayed it was true
Bringing me home to peace
This pain I forever release
This emotional battle I am drowning
I am lost to my surroundings
My words humbly spoken
I await your enlightened token
I only want to understand
Where these thoughts land
Drifting upon the ocean current
I question why I am so different
My tears drop upon your feet
God I know this we can beat
Help me not fall to this human role
God I have given you my soul
I close my eyes thankful to you
I know you aid me in being true
Please carry me through this time
Until I again hear my angels' chime

Bound No Longer
Carol Huizinga Sep 2010
The waves came crashing in
What I was to do was a sin
As I walked toward the sea
I knew my life was meant to be
Gently stepping forward to begin
The coldness began to sink in
Stopping when I was waist deep
Wondering was the path too steep
I turned to look around
Nothing was making a sound
Just the drumming of the waves
Darkening around my soul like a cave
Murkiness started to surround me
My mind knowing it was all I could see
Water began to fill my lungs
My heart started speaking in tongues
As my listless body began to sink
My lungs took that last drink
For in the world around
I am now no longer bound

You carry no shield
Carol Huizinga Jan 2011
You speak the words
My ears are the only ones that heard
I know my heart is not made of lead
I have only terrible fears in my head
How can you say those things?
And still say your heart does not sing
You said for me you felt sorry
How could you? I live in glory
Can you truly not see?
The real true depth of me
I know more than a little is hidden
Do you carry a sheild? Or are you forbidden?
The words you sometimes are speaking
Send my mind and body seeking
What is the purpose of this?
Something in me you have missed
You said I was different
A new message sent
Refreshing change from the norm
Not a crashing raging storm
Inside I can tuly see
The whispers that need to be
I know what to do with this voice
That has left me no choice
I am leaving and letting go
So you might understand one day and know

Missing the most
Carol Huizinga Jan 2011
What do I miss the most
As I watch these human ghosts
Walk endlessly within the mind
Not able to stop and find
Simple answers to the questions
Making it a huge election
Instead of stopping to feel
Is the beating heart real
Does blood flow through my veins
When I bleed does it stain
Ah let's think about that some more
Because we may open a closed door
What would happen as it creaks
Slightly open where light seeks
Will we actually step forward to see
That is the true question to be
Maybe then we would understand
The ghost that we are walking this land

Little One
Carol Huizinga Sep 2010
Why do we hurt the little ones?
If we were not ready we should have had none
For often we become what we fear
Acting like our parents is near
Why can we just not love?
Promising them that we will rise above
For if we ourselves were abused
What is the reason we make our children feel used?
They should be cuddled and hugged
Not running second best to our latest drug
We allow our mates to ****
Don’t we realize it’s our blood we spill?
It’s very sad we cannot learn
For what a child does yearn
To be number one
Second to none
Mom and Dad not to be mean
To live a life happy and clean
We all have bad days
But we shouldn’t make them slaves
To what we have been through
We must soon realize it is true
Before all our children are lost
All these kids becoming our next boss
Take a look at our changing world
All the bombs being hurled
Maybe we should take a look inside
Realize where the blame lies

the time is near
Carol Huizinga Jan 2011
The time is here
for you to see what is near
greatness walks beneath your feet
new worlds for you to greet
living within your soul
your heart no longer to be consoled
seeing beams of radiant light
I watch your true soul take flight
seeing new sparkles in your eyes
to me is no surprise
I first saw your beautiful soul
from afar not long ago
spirits never again to be lowered
as time moves forward
now your time is on sacred ground
you need only to listen for this sound
time to fly within the wings
enjoying the true freedom it brings
adventures coming within time
you need to be only the ryhme
as you stand high on thy tower
a stoic warrior within your full power
I bow at your feet
as you take your true seat
stride forever strong and free
as it was always meant to be

Eyes Open Wide
Carol Huizinga Sep 2010
The dreams in my sleep
Are not the ones I want to keep
Walking with my eyes open wide
My thoughts need to glide
A million miles away
Isn’t where my world will stay
My thoughts have become clear
Answers in my life are near
Sometimes it is a delicate thing
This understanding life brings
Realizing pain comes and goes
When it will end nobody knows
Life is not read like a book
Have we ever stopped and taken a look?
Or are we wandering lost souls
Uncaring of our worlds tolls
Does someone need to turn on our light?
So we don’t forever sleep through our nights
Nightmares happen all the time
We just need to keep in rhyme
For if we were to lose the beat
We would forever sleep
Echoes of the old sounds
We would no longer be around
Missing the feeling of the soft rain
Being able to wash away our pain
Grasp the warmth of the sun
Take a moonlight run
Remember this is the way life goes
Don’t become swallowed by her woes
Written 1995
Carol Huizinga Sep 2010
Simply said you confuse my brain
Making me feel inside I am insane
Emotions are wildly running scattered
In the grande scheme will they truly matter?
I see into your beautiful sparkling heart
To the point that even to you I have remarked
I never before felt this level of soul depth
So it is very difficult for me to easily accept
Are you supposed to be special just for me?
Or maybe just teaching me to fly being free
I work hard keeping thoughts of you at bay
But baby these images keep coming my way
I try closing my eyes to have sweet dreams
Angels write your name what does this mean
I see it on the wall written in huge bold letters
It doesn’t make my inner confusion any better
Your angels come speaking to me constantly all the time
I hold you to my heart trying to be a mime
Not whisper my hopes, my dreams out loud
I truly feel like I am living within a shroud
Is this finally my soul level presented?
My chance to live life no longer in resentment
To be wild and free my spirit fulfilled with me
Can you see the real soul love meant to be?
Will you understand my angel's glowing light?
For if the writing on the wall speaks true
The angels have told me that it is you
I guess I will have to wait until life unfolds
For asking questions I am never that bold
So until then I will continue to believe in my soul
They are bringing me someone special to hold
Forever I am praying to my angels above
That I will be blessed with this type of love
To journey with a warrior who takes a true stand
Understanding the beauty of holding their and my hand
Truly I do not think I am in love with you
But I see the purity of our souls so true
Maybe it is not meant for me to understand
That is why I must stumble across this land
Questions answered when the time is right
Believing my angels will bring my soul love to flight
