FOR DYLAN'S VILLANELLE

 

I read his words on ocean waves of light

No one could fight, come near to its being

Mend his fate and show this keen insight

 

And for they who come to this marveled height

Great hours spent as though I came seeing

I read his words on ocean waves of light

 

Poets conquer, weld suns and moons to night

led to mountains over forests fleeing

Mend his fate and show this keen insight

 

Frail peace-seekers find thirst in fright

study cold fears dragging courtyards, freeing

I read his words on ocean waves of light

 

Lost souls squander among auras of bright

Blissful seasides and stars agreeing

Mend his fate and show this keen insight

 

Then here I rest over idols of might

unheard, unnamed, and rampantly redeeming

I read his words on ocean waves of light

Amend his fate and show this keen insight
