All I Have

March 29, 2015Vonita 2 Comments

I have no car
I have no guitar
I have no drums
Or rhythm or song
I have no money
To make my dreams come true
All I have are thoughts,
Words and prayers
And the constant beating
Of my heart

Your Mask

You wear a mask
To hide your glance
You wear a mask
To hide your stance
You wear a mask
To hide yourself
You wear a mask
To blind yourself
Release your mask!
Reveal yourself

Dying Day

The sun set
Causing the day to die
And as the day lay dying, dead
The hope I had nurtured
Died in my heart
As well

Raindrop

A drop of rain
Clings tentatively
In time’s brief moment
Until it cannot anymore
It’s grip is lost
Before falling
To the floor

“Ephemeral.”

Prayer

March 27, 2015Vonita 8 Comments

I look to thee
My Lord, my God
I pray to thee
My source of trust
I ask of thee
Thy help and grace
And when my days are lived
I long to see thee
Face to face
Please help me, Lord
I pray

Obstacle

March 27, 2015Vonita 6 Comments

Moving
With the flow
Swimming
In the ocean
Until an obstacle rises
Into view
As much as I desire
I cannot
I cannot move past
The resistance
My fear
That stopped the motion
There has to be
One other,
Another way
Here I am
Lead me,
Please
