A single drop of water might be a source of solace. Since what is unseen is destroyed, allow me to stay. A magnificent ecstasy fantasy, a dreamlike palace Dreary midwinter is no match for Elysium malice! Hiding from prying eyes, a visit under a gloomy sky A single drop of water might be a source of solace. With mind two-way mirror, despite how lawless, Souls glance at each other; let me for a while sway. A magnificent ecstasy fantasy, a dreamlike palace We're falling into the abyss, surrounded by darkness. Yield to the crowds swirling cognitive waters bay. A single drop of water might be a source of solace. Come level my solace, lines contain no rare promise Lazing in wilderness fields, Elysian meadows fly. A magnificent ecstasy fantasy, a dreamlike palace Receiving prizes while lying on the desolate display. Refilling, ripping, and sowing occur after we pray. A magnificent ecstasy fantasy, a dreamlike palace A single drop of water might be a source of solace.

Beautiful picture of Elysium above your poem. Winter can draw us into a gloomy darkness but thoughts of a single drop of water can be the source of solace. We can find our Elysium within and soon spring will be born again. Thanks for this lovely Villanelle, Lasaad. May you find peace and calm of your Elysium my dear friend. Bill A FAV for me!

The villanelle is not an easy feat. Refilling, reaping and sowing after we pray…that prayer being the seed to blessings. God bless you, dear one!
