Poems:Path by Moon (villanelle #4)
by Erin Thomas
Walk with me on this moonlit path, long throughout the night,
Woven amid rich undergrowth, beneath the oak and pine,
Winding among the brooks and streams, faintly sheened with light.
Only the moon reveals this way, else concealed from mind,
Leading away from wasted ways this path is ours alone;
Walk with me on this moonlit path, long throughout the night.
Frequently followed trails are trudged, trampled void of life;
Ours is a path of subtle sounds, profuse beneath the moon,
Winding among the brooks and streams, faintly sheened with light.
Though it may seem to fade, this trail, dim where shadows glide,
More is revealed with each new step this path is ours alone;
Walk with me on this moonlit path, long throughout the night.
Spanning afar to no place known, past the common strife,
Ours is a path that leads beyond to places deep within,
Winding among the brooks and streams, faintly sheened with light.
Steal far away with me and tread with long unfolding stride;
Let us decide a private route that ranges realms unknown;
Walk with me on this moonlit path, long throughout the night,
Winding among the brooks and streams, faintly sheened with light.
