Moondancer Villanelle by Nimhuire
Winner for June 2014
The Moon, her course through the heavens steers
We, with hope, follow her guiding light
To dance the turning of the years
Through sorrows that throng, through many tears
Through grief, and pain, and sorry plight
The Moon, her course through the heavens steers
Times of peace follow times of fears
As change comes to both wrong and right
So dance the turning of the years
Moon's silver glow the pathway clears
we find each new rhythm in her sight
As she, her course through the heavens steers
As seasons pass, the heavenly spheres
Each mark their place within the height
To dance the turning of the years
So Nature to her cycle adheres
In her changes may we find delight
The Moon, her course through the heavens steers
As we dance the turning of the years
