In the Darkness of this Winter Night - A Villanelle

In the darkness of this winter night,

My sluggish steps left in the snow,

Lit only by the pale moonlight.

The frost begins to take its bite,

Just like a hungry foe,

In the darkness of this winter night.

I know not of what my plight,

Upon this lonely trek I go,

Lit only by the pale moonlight.

Imagined fears hidden out of sight,

That the shadows will not show,

In the darkness of this winter night.

Moving on as much I might,

My journey is so slow,

Lit only by the pale moonlight.

I wonder if my path is right,

Which direction? I do not know,

In the darkness of this winter night,

Lit only by the pale moonlight.
