I had followed a path labyrinthine, all around me nature whispered hello; while, I was sitting in a lovely scene. Everything was beautiful and lush green, oh, to find a vast delightful meadow; I had followed a path labyrinthine. Standing among flowers and grass serene, I let go of all my sadness and woe; while, I was sitting in a lovely scene. With my dress and hat I was a sun queen, it would make a nice painting by Van Gogh; I had followed a path labyrinthine. Birds twitter, tweet songs hidden and unseen, the breeze gentle and the sun a warm glow; while, I was sitting in a lovely scene. It was the most divine place I have seen, writing in a journal, I just let go; while, I was sitting in a lovely scene, I had followed a path labyrinthine. ________________________ February 24, 2022 Poetry/Villanelle/Finding Peace in Nature Copyright Protected, ID 02-1433-365-24 All Rights Reserved, 2022, Constance La France Written for the Premier contest, An Original Villanelle Contest sponsor, L MILTON HANKINS, Judged 03/03/2022 Third Place
