Everchanging Times

Vonita 17 Comments

In days before October
Ten pm used to be Ten pm
It made me so happy

Was able to have an evening routine
Meditation, quietness and all those things
One would do at night

Before writing Daily Post
Which I only discovered
In September

October arrived
And times they do change
Ten o’clock now became eleven

So another hour later
It is not all bad
Extra reading and music time

Keep oneself occupied
Meditate a bit more
Just Do Not fall asleep

Welcome November
My ten o’clock original
Has now become midnight

So every night
I find myself looking at walls
And writing books

And keeping busy
With lots of coffee
To stay awake

For the Daily Post
Which for me has become
The Midnight Post

But now the problem is
I am awake
And I am typing

But am SO, SO tired
I am unable to think
About anything other

Than Why, Why, Why
Do times have to keep on changing?
Why can’t Ten pm stay Ten pm?

Past midnight which used to be Past Ten Pm

Past Midnight which used to be Past Ten Pm

Go well, Farewell

Vonita 4 Comments

I would not know why
You would feel the way you do

I would not know what
I would even say to you

You feelings are yours
Your emotions turn me blue

You are my friend
I have always told you so

And if you would feel more
I will have no part on it

There will be no response
For silence is what I do

Any reply – any words you may desire
You will have to write yourself

So go well, my friend
Farewell

The Light by Vonita Buirski

Vonita 6 Comments

When all around is dark
And all you know is night
Feel the hope within
And move towards the light

Kind soul sang my words
Back to me
So I can know
My words will reach
Where they need to go

School Song

Vonita 4 Comments

Immediate response in my mind

Did I fill the world with love
Did I fill the world with love
Did I fill the world with love my whole life through

Because! My School Song
Sung at the end of every year
One hundred and fifty girls
Tucked up in a convent far away

Will I fill the world with love
Will I fill the world with love
My whole life through

It is the noontime of my life
This evening as I would type
And I look to the moonlight
Tomorrow the shining sun so bright
In vast, endless sky deep blue

And the blessing I will ask will remain
Unchanging
To be brave and strong and true
And to fill the world with love my whole life through!

Fill the World with Love

Music & Lyrics by Leslie Bricusse
Artist – Petula Clark
Album – Goodbye Mr. Chips
Lyrics – Fill The World With Love

In the morning of my life I shall look to the sunrise.
At a moment in my life when the world is new.
And the blessing I shall ask is that God will grant me,
To be brave and strong and true,
And to fill the world with love my whole life through.

(Chorus)
And to fill the world with love
And to fill the world with love
And to fill the world with love my whole life through

In the noontime of my life I shall look to the sunshine,
At a moment in my life when the sky is blue.
And the blessing I shall ask shall remain unchanging.
To be brave and strong and true,
And to fill the world with love my whole life through

(Chorus)

In the evening of my life I shall look to the sunset,
At a moment in my life when the night is due.
And the question I shall ask only I can answer.
Was I brave and strong and true?
Did I fill the world with love my whole life through?

Best Ironic Life Moment

Vonita 2 Comments

All the hurt
All the pain
Cutting so deep
Into my heart
Into my life
Have all found their way
Out of my mind
Out of my head
How ironic to find

In the depths of soul pain
No further ache
But balm for my wound
A gift so free
Given to me
Where I can express
Myself so easily
And it helps me now
Every day

Melbourne Cup

Vonita Leave a comment

Yesterday was Mel-
Bourne Cup day in Aussie land,
Big Celebrations

Even wore a fascinator
Because I could
So I did

Except I had one of my
Roller coaster days
So was in tears
For most of it

And I am still getting teary-eyed
Thinking about some words said to me
That I took personally
And have wounded me

Chilli Peppers Please

Vonita 10 Comments

I have always not liked my
Success stories to be
Spicy at all
In fact just the other day
Father’s Day to be exact
Invitations did I extend
For a lunch of curry
We dined, we feasted, it was grand
Until I was told
The menu is great
It is wonderful
Thank you so much
But just so you know
The menu did not contain
Curry at all
Casserole maybe, there was no spice
No chilli pepper can one taste

Take a bit of risk
Let loose in the world
I have been reprimanded
At least four times today
Told what to do
And what to say
And what not to say
And what not to do

Get some sleep
Eat well
Be in balance
Moderation is key!

I have lived my life
Cooking curries that are not
Curries at all
Dining on casseroles

Perhaps it is time
Oh yes please!
To add some spice
To that casserole
Of mine

Sensual

Vonita 3 Comments

would be so good
to have arms around me
holding on tight
in a lovers embrace
fingers down my back
hands touching skin
skin feeling hands
lips on my neck
caressing
loving
feeling
until my tank of love is full
my heart filled with joy
flesh satisfied

Midnight Hour

Vonita Leave a comment

No morning picture
Today, I am still upset
At having found out

That Daily Post now
Only gets posted at Twelve
O’clock my time, here

In Sydney, Aussie
Time, this is now two hours
Past my bedtime, now

What should I do? Should
I go to bed at normal
Ten o’clock bedtime

And post in morning
What if I’m not inspired?
Should I stay awake

Every night and
Then look like a zombie the
Next day, or should I

Go to sleep at ten
And set the alarm each night
Like Cinderella?

History’s Legacy

Vonita 2 Comments

Hard Drive has been unearthed
There is a year underneath

2014, can you believe?
That makes it like 200 years old

And what is more
There is a note attached

Very old English
These words we don’t even understand

A note from the owner
The name is Vonita

What would be written?
Handwritten, can you believe?
Captured on paper so antique
Wow, in those days paper was used
Notes all written by hand!

There is a book contained on this drive
It is called Passion through Poetry
In fact there are two books
A children’s book too, Sweet Marigold

And a lot of formatting being done
Mac Pages Enhance button was discovered today
So awesome, it is really a feature of the future

This special day what would it be?
3 November 2014

And there is an image of my mother
That I scanned in today
Taken in about 1954

What would her Legacy be?
What would my Legacy be?

It might not be my books
It might be the lessons I teach my two souls
That they might teach their souls
And on it goes
For years and decades and centuries in turn

My Legacy might not be my words
But then again, it might
