Villanelle

Once upon a May

There’s a dream world somewhere far

Where sunlight fills the day

 

Through fields of green and pools of mist I stray

And the flowers bloom

Once upon a May

 

I sing a song I might, I may

I stroll through love and laughter

Where sunlight fills the day

 

I dream a dream

And I never plan to wake again

Once upon a May

 

And all seems possible somehow, someway

My heart is full

Where sunlight fills the day

 

I can’t believe this world so far away

And yet so close within my soul

Once upon a May

Where sunlight fills the day
