Monday Poem: A Song

A Song

(Villanelle)

I hear the fading echoes of a song.
A song of loss, a song of defeat
And from a singer silent far too long.

A song to take us back where we belong,
To make us whole, to make us feel complete.
I hear the fading echoes of a song.

A song of victory to make us strong,
To feel our own so powerful heartbeat,
And from a singer silent far too long.

An all too human song of deepest longing
For life that time and chance cannot mistreat.
I hear the fading echoes of a song.

A song that we all want to sing along
While marching to its living drumbeat.
I hear the fading echoes of a song
And from a singer silent far too long.
