Shadows of Yesterday – A Villanelle on Nostalgia and Life Lessons

In ‘Shadows of Yesterday’, the poet invites us to traverse the delicate lines of nostalgia, where whispers of the past entwine with the present. This villanelle captures the essence of how memories shape our lives, encouraging readers to embrace their history while finding beauty in the fleeting moments.

Whispers of the Wind

In twilight’s gentle, soft embrace,
The whispers of the wind take flight,
They dance through leaves, a fleeting grace,
And weave the world in shades of light.

Each rustling leaf tells tales untold,
Of sunlit days and silver streams,
Of secrets shared, of hearts so bold,
In nature’s arms, we chase our dreams.

The mountains echo with a sigh,
As rivers laugh beneath the sky,
With every breeze, we feel alive,
In this cocoon where moments thrive.

So let us wander, hand in hand,
Through fields where wildflowers bloom,
For in this vast and vibrant land,
Love finds its voice, dispelling gloom.

As we navigate the shadows of yesterday, let us remember that each memory is a lesson, shaping our pathways forward. Embrace the winds of change, allowing them to carry the weight of the past into the light of tomorrow.
