Vonda Overlie Poems

I will capture the innocence of that little child, who has great big stars in her big brown eyes.
Holding onto the feeling that she can be anything, Determined to conquer and fly with her wings.
Pure in heart, before life settled in to try and steal the joy of a gift that was given.
I remember the promise, the story goes on, Its a brand new day for a brand new song!

commanding the stage releasing the rage inside
You kinetically dance thru the leaves with your head held high then you are silent
Gathering your breath, you exhale to allow the foehn winds to carry you to warmth

The flattery from a thousand tongues uttering my beauty means nothing...
Then you speak, and simply call me beautiful and I melt into a thousand oceans flowing freely and uninhibited.
...

Standing on the brink, both so afraid to move
Who will be vulnerable first?
I stand anchored, showing my strength and determination
Then I look in your eyes and they compel me to trust
...

Emerging from the fog, I can see clearly
You don't know how blind you were, until you can see

Head up, shoulders back,
...

Love is strength
Love is pure
Love is passion
Love is forgiveness
...

These eyes have shed many tears
Seen many injustices.

If I Iook into them deep,
...
