Villanelle

As I sit and wait for the day
The skies are dark and speak of doom
And vengeance and hatred shall reign

I watch the moon be chased away
Dark clouds cover the sky in plumes
As I sit and wait for the day

As good, war and anger do slay
The birds? None call; the wolf doth loom
And vengeance and hatred shall reign

As they lead the righteous astray
We turn our world into a tomb
As I sit and wait for the day

When the sun climbs late in the day
Preferring to stay in her womb
Then vengeance and hatred shall reign

The sunrise our sin makes delay
Our deepest darkness starts to rise
As I sit and wait for the day
And vengeance and hatred do reign
