The Great Debate

September 29, 2014March 14, 2015Vonita 6 Comments

The light flicks on, and what do I see?
A pile of books looking at me
Scan through the list to find want interests most
Surely there will be a simple clue to answer this post?

But no, what we have is this!

A Book of rhyming poetry
Fiction for both young and those aging
A modern inspirational autobiography
Atop a classic penned by Dale Carnegie

A Thousand Splendid Suns
And How to Heal my Heart and Life!
Compilers and guides to grow my mind
A magazine, too, thrown in on the side!

But from all of these
Fine books piled up and never quite read
My very favorite words must surely be
This simple poem gifted to me!

Empty Bus

A single bus and then repeat
In a straight line proudly stand
Awaiting their journey’s start
At leisure while in another place
Travelers anxiously strain
For a glimpse of that expected arrival
Anticipating a bright splash of yellow
Or maybe today, perhaps, there might be red?

Thank you Mum!

Raging Fire

October 17, 2013March 14, 2015Vonita 1 Comment

The world is on fire
Red raging flames
Lick the earth
Smoke the sky
Destruction all around
Desolation
Until the hunger is satiated
Calmness
Still
Peace abounds

Celebration of Spring

October 13, 2013February 27, 2015Vonita 1 Comment

First day of Spring today. A new month, a new week, a new season. May it bring in a new season of our lives. A season where we can be confident, assured, content and happy. Joy-filled. May all the past and any bitterness and regret be washed away, and a new beginning welcomed. I look to the sun and blue skies and the buds and blossoms and I feel encouraged and strengthened and joyous. The warmth fills my heart and lifts me up. Allows me to grow from where I am, my despair and anguish and pain is cast aside. And filled with laughter and love and joy, and there is a smile on my heart. That smile that radiates from within and bubbles out and springs forth and cannot be hidden.

We are blessed indeed.
