Nette Onclaud Poet Villanelle

Life's Inspirations

I crave for them through sprays of light
To see the vignettes in my mind
Their warm love hugs me day or night

Inside a chalet large and bright
I relive heart’s joys so entwined
I crave for them through sprays of light


My grandma's laughter soft and sprite
My grandpa's face, firm yet kind
Their warm love hugs me day or night

Those  bedtime stories fill my sight
 Hide-and- seek thrills, now hard to find
I crave for them through sprays of light

We pluck sweet fruits with all our might
Till weak trees fade with old age grind
Their warm love hugs me day or night

These souvenirs of life’s blessed flight
Finds me clinging to years all signed
I crave for them through sprays of light
Their warm love hugs me day or night.
