Unseeking Seeker Poet Villanelle

Notes About The Poem

Silent Thunder

Soft, subtle whispers of conscience within
They burn, upturn, compelling doublethink 
Redeem hermit, soul from possible sin

Senses five immerse us in outer din
Severing thus from God, our divine link 
Soft, subtle whispers of conscience within

Child’s soul innocent, feels pricking of pin
Those who listen, glisten, whilst others sink 
Redeem hermit, soul from possible sin

Presence imbibes bliss from pores of our skin
Love lotus blooms, luminescence bright pink
Soft, subtle whispers of conscience within

Nip ego desire before it begins
Heed truth hues etched in indelible ink
Redeem hermit, soul from possible sin

Divine restores light of our origin
The doing we do is mind with love sync
Soft, subtle whispers of conscience within
Redeem hermit, soul from possible sin

L Milton Hankins June 1, 2021 at 9:45 AM Oh how I loved your villanelle, Unseeking Seeker, and to write it without using the letter "a" was masterful. Best wishes in the contest. Unseeking Seeker June 1, 2021 at 7:03 PM Hahaha ... you like it bcoz you lean towards the villanelle form! Thanks! I’m happy with the way it turned out, too :)

Victor Buhagiar June 1, 2021 at 1:09 AM Well composed villanelle. And I agree with the dictates of our conscience. Which seems lacking in most people these days. Unseeking Seeker June 1, 2021 at 11:44 PM Thanks for your encouragement, Victor!
