I walk in the rain with my thoughts,
contemplating my life’s journey.
Sometimes I am tied up in knots,
as the mist washes over me.
I clearly see where I went wrong,
as both sides of me can agree.
Then I hear my internal song,
as the mist washes over me.
I know that I have been my best,
this I knowingly sure decree.
Walking with head high on my quest,
as the mist washes over me.

Kyrielle
A Kyrielle is a French form of rhyming poetry written in quatrains (a stanza consisting of 4 lines),
and each quatrain contains a repeating line or phrase as a refrain (usually appearing as the last
line of each stanza). Each line within the poem consists of only eight syllables. There is no limit
to the amount of stanzas a Kyrielle may have, but three is considered the accepted minimum.
Some popular rhyming schemes for a Kyrielle are: aabB, ccbB, ddbB, with B being the repeated
line, or abaB, cbcB, dbdB.
Mixing up the rhyme scheme is possible for an unusual pattern of: axaZ, bxbZ, cxcZ, dxdZ, etc.
with Z being the repeated line.
The rhyme pattern is completely up to the poet.
A beautiful confirmation of one's ability to believe that indeed we have done our very best... If only we can all embrace such positive attitude, good work Phil!
