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. Love, Light & Laughter Linda |
