Come walk this path with me
through wooded quiet calm.
It will lend its peace to you.
Canopy of green leaves gleam
as sunlight filters through.
Come walk this path with me.
Morning’s quiet coolness
will ease and soothe the soul.
It will lend its peace to you.
Some call it forest bathing,
five senses engaged in meditation.
Come walk this path with me.
Immerse ourselves knowing
Earth’s beauty nurtures best.
It will lend its peace to you.
Escape the city’s frenzy
find nature’s solemnity.
Come walk this path with me,
it will lend its peace to you.
NAPOWRIMO Day 22. Prompt is to write a Villanelle. Photo from a vacation we took some years ago.
Villanelle: A French verse form consisting of five three-line stanzas and a final quatrain. The first and third lines of the first stanza repeat alternately in the following stanzas. And these two lines form the final couplet in the quatrain. It’s a poetic sudoku!
