The Happiness I Seek
Villanelle challenge

The joy of life--this God asks me to sense.
I've always cursed my life for being bleak.
I've denied world of my soul's effulgence.
***
I pass by rose and lilac's sweetest scents.
I delve in tasks and miss all that's unique.
The joy of life--this God asks me to sense.
***
I don't want to live life at my expense.
I want to know the happiness I seek.
I've denied world of my soul's effulgence.
***
Cosmos of play and beauty is immense.
My heart regrets failure to at stars peek.
The joy of life--this God asks me to sense.
***
Trapped in my ways, I long for innocence,
to be child willing to needs bespeak.
I've denied world of my soul's effulgence.
***
May I release contractions and defense.
May I spread fairy dust, prance with mystique.
The joy of life--this God asks me to sense.
I've denied world of my soul's effulgence.
