Debris Be Gone

Vonita 18 Comments

I cleared the debris cluttering my life and as I stood back to examine the result I knew with certainty that yes, indeed, the path hidden beneath all the dead wood really would lead to an as yet undiscovered

Magical world

Living Hope

Vonita 4 Comments

I lived in fear for years on end

My soul was tied and bound

I had no place outside my realm

No open path that I could tell

I gave up hope, resigned to life

My bed was made so down I laid

But change came by and saw the heart

My tears had nearly drowned

I closed my eyes and lift my arms

I surrendered all to God

Please help me, Lord, my life is yours

I have nowhere else to go

He heard my prayers and felt my pain

And wiped it all away

I thank you Lord for all you’ve done

For all my life might be

I’ll live my days to glorify

My living hope in Thee!

Candle Flame

As much as we’ve received

Let us share our gifts with grace

Our joy is like a candle flame

To light the eyes and face

Well-Wishes I Wish

Vonita 12 Comments

I only realized how toxic the environment was until I left after ten years of service without even a card to well-wish my days ahead.

Did I wish for a well-wish? I would have been touched by the gesture.

Hero

Vonita 17 Comments

It feels weird

To move outside a comfort zone

It feels weird

To say goodbye to all I’ve known

It feels weird

To stand outside a closed locked door

When suddenly

It opens for me no more

It feels weird

To finally know

I’m alone

I’ve become my own

Hero

There Must Be Sun

Vonita 8 Comments

I’ve broken free

From painful fears

I’ve torn the ropes

Around my wrist

Shadows fall

Around my feet

So this I know

There must be sun

Give and Take

Vonita 5 Comments

I entered through the doors

That would open for days to follow.

Days turned into years

A decade saw it through

I cried at times, and smiled as well.

I had fun and also

I didn’t.

I stood up for myself, and gave it my all.

I gave what I could.

For now, I will take and

Say thanks when I do.

Changing Lives

Vonita 10 Comments

I have changed my life before.

Bid farewell to the way things were.

I left my home, my friends, my family.

I left my job. I left my land. I left my country.

With faith that something better was in view.

With faith, I’m doing it all again.

I’m saying goodbye. To friends. To work.

To security.

I’m starting somewhere new.

Amber Sky

Vonita 8 Comments

The world stood still as beneath

An amber sky your lips grazed

Mine

More of the Same

Vonita 11 Comments

The sky is the same shade of blue

The grass is the green it’s always been

The highs have made way for the low

At times I’ve had nowhere else to go

So I retreated inside

And allowed myself to grow

My wings strengthened

Increasing my resolve

And now when I lurch

Into a future unknown

I know the winds will carry me

I will not fail or fall

My skies are fetching me

I lift my arms

To go alone.
