A Mystery Untold

October 2024
Villanelle

The darkness holds a mystery untold,
Stars falling softly and the moon glows white,
Glitter stretching along puddles – foretold.

Vastness, so far to grasp and get ahold,
Mountains afar, scattered, bathed in moonlight,
The darkness holds a mystery untold.

Traversing down, dim light, like sparkling gold,
Amidst the silence, dreams wander at night,
Blinding my eyes, the stars start to behold.

Gentle night floods and overwhelms the old,
Thoughts and dreams entwine, both tranquil and bright
‘Til the whole dreamscape is finally rolled.

Through veils of the night, where stories unfold,
Traveling alone, under our own light,
Counting the past, where stars and paths are told.

Each soul is a star in the night’s vast fold,
Gleaming alone, their softness glows with might,
The darkness holds a mystery untold,
Warming each lonely heart till morning’s hold.
