Moonlit Heavens: A Villanelle

Dove

From the moonlit heavens in the sky
Such peacefulness unveiled before me
I could hardly believe my eyes 

 

Soft beams of moon light  far and wide
Brought me to my knees 
From the moonlit heavens in the sky

 

An Angel descended and then sighed
Asked If heaven was where I needed to be
I could hardly believe my eyes 

 

My heart was heavy, I started to cry
I was dying, yet my soul couldn't see
From the moonlit heavens in the sky

 

So, I asked the Angel kindly Why?
Why was she now coming for me?
I could hardly believe my eyes 

 

Then I felt my soul lift as I sighed 
Radiant Moon beams was all I could see
From the moonlit heavens in the sky
I could hardly believe my eyes
