Carly Young- Art & Soul Poet

Celebrating National Poetry Month with poems by Carly Young

Some really beautiful things 

It is a beautiful thing 

to hold on to your love 

And know that life

Is on your side


It is a beautiful thing 

When the birds outside are singing 

And the music inside is just right

And you’re finishing the last load of laundry 


It is a beautiful thing 

When your day was a disaster

And your best friend is already at your house

With your favorite ice cream and a movie 


It is a beautiful thing 

To be married to the guy 

Who sees you already

As your best self


It is a beautiful thing 

To write a poem 

And share your secrets

With those who care


-Carly Young

Waiting for spring 

When the days are gray and the nights are cold

Where do you find yourself going? 

Deep into your subconscious mind to chew on a thought that hasn’t stopped begging for your attention?

The book you haven’t written or the painting that only exists in your mind's eye?

Or maybe you go deep into the woods

To build yourself a treasured cedar sweat lodge

Like the Finnish used to make

To sweat out your toxins and griefs and fears

And the darker it gets

The more inward you crawl

Until there is nowhere else to go

But to be here

And feel it 

And think it

And write it

And say it

And then all of the sudden 

Spring returns
