Shell

There was

Only a sliver 

Of a membrane 

Exposing flesh to a 

Brutal environment, with perseverance 

The membrane hardened

To become the most 

Exquisite 

Shell

Invisible Hand

An invisible hand 

Keeps me safe

From all the world around.

I am kept 

And I am loved

By heaven’s light above.

Watch Over Me

For all my failings
Weaknesses and more
You are my strength
The one that I adore

I am your child
So Lord I pray
Walk beside me
Watch over me today

Shelter from the Rain

Vonita 13 Comments

Bad news happened
No words to comfort
No songs of joy to sing
Only a storm that began
To fall its raindrop tears –
I pray for shelter from all pain
But if I am caught unsheltered in the rain
Please, dear Lord, shelter me under your wing

In response to The Daily Post’s writing prompt: “Places.”

I would be
Under a tree
So I can sit in it’s shadow
Listening to the song of the birds
And the wind as it whispers its
Silent secrets softly
To me
