I wake each day to see the sun so bright,
Then plant the seeds of joy that they might grow.
I sleep in peace as moonbeams light the night.

My day is done, I tried to do what's right,
Took care, for I shall reap as I did sow.
I wake each day to see the sun so bright.

For all is well in God's embrace of light,
As is above, may we be blessed below.
I sleep in peace as moonbeams light the night.

Gold rays of love, they wash away the fright,
The pain, the doubts--away they all do go.
I wake each day to see the sun so bright.

The skies are clear with no dark clouds in sight,
Both day and night God's love fills up my soul.
I sleep in peace as moonbeams light the night.

Bask in the glow of God's eternal light,
Let go, let God, enjoy life's ebb and flow.
I wake each day to see the sun so bright;
I sleep in peace as moonbeams light the night.

A hearty "hello" to those who ventured forth to read a villanelle! In my humble opinion, it is one of the most difficult forms of poetry to write. It is a very contrived vehicle for expressing the written word, but it certainly is a wonderful exercise for honing our writing skills.

Well, Noah, it looks like you were the only brave soul to read this villanelle. I'm pleased that it met with your approval! I enjoy all the feedback you give me on my poetry. Thank you for taking the time to read and respond and for being the caring gentle spirit that you are.
