Forgiving Day

September 13, 2018Vonita 2 Comments

Losing my grip I stumble and fall

Sink in further to the abyss of the deadliest

Dream

Faltering I open my hands

Allow myself to be swept away in mires of

Dusty clay

Night looms large it’s towering presence

Cowers me

I’ll hide until the unwavering sun ushers in a

Forgiving day.

Clockwork

April 9, 2017April 9, 2017Vonita 10 Comments

Birds sing

And the sun drops

Light fades

And the dark brightens 

Stars twinkle 

While the moon beams

Day turns like clockwork

Into night

Insomnia

June 17, 2016June 17, 2016Vonita 7 Comments

Night escapes
Like water slipping through my fingers
Every second drawing morning closer
And pushing time away and yet
I cannot sleep for my mind
Is not at rest

Dark Humor

March 27, 2016March 27, 2016Vonita 40 Comments

photo-1431352832634-845fad190fbd

At the edge of
Endless blue oceans of sea
Steps urging me to
Cry out earnestly
Is there anyone to rescue me?

The dimming sun
Looks on humorously
Cooling the land while
Whispering quietly
Day is passed, welcome dark

Two Worlds

March 6, 2016March 6, 2016Vonita 16 Comments

water

Surfing the space
Between dreams
And reality
Surfacing from night
As morning dew appears
Two worlds connect –
Free spirit and
Earthly mind

I dream about a new day
When night is passed
And I can follow dreams

Morning Light

April 14, 2015April 14, 2015Vonita 9 Comments

Rays of light stream through the
Window, awakening me from the
Comfort of the dream world, my
Chest tightens at the realization
Of a new day and being alive, I
Allow the birds to sing their song
As I encourage myself to breathe

Dying Day

March 28, 2015Vonita 6 Comments

Concept or conceptual young beautiful black cute dog silhouette

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
