Sun Dance: Villanelle

Over the horizon sunrays dance,

sparkle like jewels,

granting a new chance.

In the embrace of an eternal romance,

feeding light to deepest pools,

over the horizon sunrays dance.

A gambogian hue in blue expanse

spreads warmth in cerulean cool,

granting a new chance.

As the day enhance,

and the beauty rules,

over the horizon sunrays dance.

Everything’s in trance

nature in their awe, drools,

granting a new chance.

Sun’s loving glance,

upon shimmering fields of cotton wool,

over the horizon sunrays dance,

granting  a new chance.
