Come Drink of This Sweet Blood of Nature's Veins Come drink of this sweet blood of nature's veins Sup this clear cooling draft up from the well Lift your head up high to the falling rains Let it soak your face, and your tears are grains Of cold stone from whence, or you cast your spell Come drink of this sweet blood of nature's veins Come all ye to where nature leaves its stain It's thy wish that life begins, people dwell Lift your head up high to the falling rain Where the sweet waters from the rain remains That forms this wishing well, others may tell Come drink of this sweet blood of nature's veins Come to this special place amid lifes shames Spend time amid the trees, there is no hell Lift your head up high to the falling rains Be at peace amid life's haste and refrains Lifes cool flowing water without a shell Come drink of this sweet blood of nature's veins L;ift your head up high to the falling rains. |

You know this speaks of the way I deal with every single day of my life. I go into the forest for "me time" and just drink in all it has to offer. Beautiful Villanelle. Carpe' Diem, |

I enjoy the French Villanelle poetic form which I affectionately refer to as 'French Vanilla'. I find them rather difficult to write but you have done a masterful job of writing this one. "Be at peace amid life's haste and refrains" ~ Aww, YES!!! EA |
