 Moonbeams Light the Night A Villanele ~ Linda L. Dowd ~ 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 doubt ~ 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. “We are borne of star dust, and to the stars we shall one day return.” ~ Linda L. Dowd |

They read it here, they read it there, those poets read it everywhere - for you have penned it well, that darned elusive Villanelle...  The trick is, aside from the message, to compose a good couplet, while assuring that there are enough rhyming words left. Then...half the poem is done...  CG |

 (smiles) Yay! Awwwwwwww, it's great to find the opportunity to read your gorgeous poetry again, dearest friend! (angel friendship hugs) I always like to think of moonbeams as the feathered, bleached prisms of the night, that must have been ironed on the divans of angels, yay, this villanelle is gorgeous, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Linda, thank you for sharing! May love and light always shine upon you!

Mr. T. ~ I enjoyed stretching my poetic wings by writing in this antiquated French form. Mind you, I have a few less tresses on my crown!   EA |

Lady Kate ~ "and make it look so easy..." ~ as I am sure you know, a lady should never let others see them sweat ~ I mean "perspire".  Thank you for your kind comments. Loving Light, EA |
