Arc-En-Ciel
A Rainbow Villanelle Of Love And Hope
Introduction
The phrase "Arc-En-Ciel" which I am guessing means "Arch of the Sky" and is French for Rainbow. I thought that would be a great starting point for a poem about things that raise our hearts and spirits to make us feel good about ourselves.
The music is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Israel Kamakawiwo'Ole

Standing Still
There are very few moments in life where time truly stands still. When your breath is taken from your chest and your body hangs weightless in that moment. Just long enough for it to stay with you from that day onwards. Deep in the red sands of the Australian Outback, I found that moment and clung to it forever.

I really loved your written style.
This shows that everyone does matter. This was my favourite line. Loved your villanelle!
A favorite song. A favorite natural phenomenon, sign of hope, of light through the darkness, of a hope for inclusion in the midst of a world of minds darkened by exclusion. Wondrously & beautifully expressed.
