EJ wrote this during Kind Fools’ sixteenth WRITE ON! workshop.

This villanelle is about the human condition internally and externally.

Inside & Outside

A running brook, stones untouched
I search for warmth and calm
Two sides of a coin, as such I question luck

Thinking, thinking, thinking
As heart and brain toil and fuss
A running brook, stones untouched

Doing, doing, doing
Running after much discussion of us
Two sides of a coin, as such I question luck

Internally, intrinsically linked
Hunches, crutches, intuition, trusting the gut
A running brook, stones untouched

Externally, intrinsically linked
Acting, inaction, finding answers and passions
Two sides of a coin, as such I question luck

I live for three, we, you, and me
Searching for calm through everything
A running brook, stones untouched
Two sides of a coin, as such I question luck
