Rhonda L. Brockmeyer Reads

Villanelle: Within These Hands

Turquoise seas edged in driftwood sands
Cautious, we walked upon this place
Faint beats this heart within these hands

To touch foot upon sacred lands
Was nothing short of seeing grace
Turquoise seas edged in driftwood sands

Blindly, we feel the flowered strands
Tears, down their petals pure, did trace
Faint beats this heart within these hands

Blackness wrapped Life with deadly bands
Nature’s breath, Death came to replace
Turquoise seas edged in driftwood sands

Life lost from shore to hinterlands
Destruction reigned Life’s haunted space
Faint beats this heart within these hands

The poets sung out their demands!
The web undid the interlace
Turquoise seas edged in driftwood sands

Screaming voices shout reprimands
To speak, ruins what we can’t replace…
Turquoise seas edged in driftwood sands
Faint beats this heart within these hands.
