Emile Pinet Poet Villanelle

Nature's Solitude

When depression overshadows sunlight,
and my heart pines for Nature's solitude:
I head off to my favorite campsite.

Getting back to Nature is a delight:
for city life tends to leave me unglued,
when depression overshadows sunlight.

When I am confronted with fight or flight
and slip into a melancholy mood:
I head off to my favorite campsite.

Replacing neon lighting with starlight
leaves my spirit rekindled and renewed:
when depression overshadows sunlight.

At those times, when nothing I do feels right,
and the whole world adopts an attitude:
I head off to my favorite campsite.

I love to sit alone in the moonlight,
enjoying Nature's tranquil quietude.
When depression overshadows sunlight:
I head off to my favorite campsite.
