Shell

April 27, 2017Vonita 1 Comment


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

Divinely guarded 

Every day

Right beside us

Our angels stay

Invisible Hand

November 4, 2016Vonita 6 Comments

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

October 12, 2016Vonita 8 Comments

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

March 15, 2016March 15, 2016Vonita 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

Oak Tree

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
