Heavenly Peace
A gentle feeling comes within
A gentle feeling comes within
His light shines
brightly on my soul
A gentle feeling comes
within
Prayer and praise is my whispered goal
Prayer and praise is my whispered goal
Sweet dreams I sleep
safely all night
His light shines brightly
on my soul
To please Him is my earthly flight
His love protects me all
day long
Sweet dreams I sleep
safely all night
Without my Father lost and gone
He builds me up and shows
me way
His love protects me
all day long
Questions of life is not my tray
For His calm brings me
inner peace
He builds me up and
shows me way
Joy comes to soul as all fears cease
A gentle feeling comes
within
For His calm brings me
inner peace
A gentle feeling comes
within

The
Terzanelle Poetry Form is a combination of the Villanelle and the
Terza Rima forms - It is a 19-line poem consisting of five interlocking
triplets/tercets plus a concluding quatrain in which the first and third lines
of the first triplet appear as refrains - The middle line of each triplet is
repeated, reappearing as the last line of the succeeding triplet with the
exception of the center line of the next-to-the-last stanza which appears in
the quatrain - The rhyme and refrain scheme for the triplets are as follows: 1.A 2.B 3.A 4.b 5.C 6.B 7.c 8.D 9.C 10.d 11.E 12.D 13.e 14.F 15.E -
Ending Type 1: 16.f 17.A 18.F 19.A - Ending Type 2: 16.f 17.F 18.A 19.A...rg

Thank you Charlene for the wonderful comment. I must admit that this poetry form was tough - but where there is a will, there is a way!!! And that being - keep on trying to get it right. I made several mistakes, but re-reading the instructions got it right. Thanks again Charlene...rg
