Land of opportunity

Plains of the free

Australia my country

Sydney to sea

I look to your hills

Your echo through trees

I am blessed

Myself and family

Unshackled

June 27, 2017Vonita 2 Comments


Blurred images clear 

And I can focus on what is

Not what I want it to be 

The illusion falls away 

To present reality

And I am outside

Looking in

I am outside 

Where a shining sun

Caresses skin

Where water falls 

And birds fly 

I am outside

I am naked

I am unashamed 

I am vulnerable 

I  am unshackled 

I am free.

Democracy

April 22, 2017Vonita 1 Comment

She stands tall
She stands free
She stands for life
And liberty 

She watches over you
She watches over me
She watches over
Freedom’s democracy

Sharing the sun
We share our world

Flying together
We fly as one

Loving each other
Our love takes flight

Spreading my wings
I fly with you

(Still) Living in a Box

May 11, 2016May 11, 2016Vonita 75 Comments

I say the things I’m told to say
I live the way I’m told to live
I smile, I act, I live my life
And when I dream at night
My dreams are free to roam
Outside the box I’m captured in

Love is our Banner!

March 23, 2016March 23, 2016Vonita 11 Comments

In a bruised world:

Freedom to love
Freedom to live
Freedom to laugh
Freedom to be

Our spirits can never
Be captured
When love is our banner!

Praying for those injured, hurt and victims of a cruel heart xx

Outside

March 21, 2016Vonita 16 Comments

window

Outside the window
I look upon
Trees of green
Clouds of sky
Lawns of grass
Cool air
Fresh breath
Other worlds
And freedom
From the chains
That bind me
Mercilessly
To my mind

 

In response to Daily Prompt: Window

Freedom Forever

November 15, 2015November 15, 2015Vonita 10 Comments

Waking up
Never knowing if today
Might be our last
Be at peace
Be content
Love

And if today would be our last
Allow spirit to always live
Freedom to love
Freedom to live
Freedom to laugh
Freedom to be

Freedom forever
