Meadow Reflecting - A Villanelle by Road Runner 3
Though paucity of spirit plagues my steps,
And load of daily lifting breaks my back,
Her scent upon the meadow fills me yet.
Immersed in somber cycles that beset,
I strain to ascertain that higher track,
Though paucity of spirit plagues my steps.
It seems the chill of age, its frosty heft,
Does hound my soul while I resist the pack,
Her scent upon the meadow fills me yet.
I recall, through spate of years,
I leapt In nimble dance with nature, nothing lacked,
Though paucity of spirit plagues my steps.
I step into the night, look up, am swept
By beauty from the stars, soft breeze distracts,
Her scent upon the meadow fills me yet.
In Father God - Maternal Earth duet
I'm safe within His arms, to Her attached,
Though paucity of spirit plagues my steps,
Her scent upon the meadow fills me yet.

This is for the want of a better word, sheer poetry. Wonderful
