The Naive Noesis

My first villanelle. I'm not very good at it. But well 
It was meant for that form poetry contest. I never won. But here it is.
It was meant for that form poetry contest. I never won. But here it is.
If only we had time enough to serve the trivialities!
There’s more to life than in researches found:
The geometry of clouds, the sciences in the seas--
All demand a ceaseless hymn, humble poetries
Or, leastways, an amazed gaze -- silent and sound…
If only we had time enough to serve the trivialities!
The postures of war, the secrets of peace
Give no life, leave no vibe, to hound
The geometry of clouds, the sciences in the seas.
The world begets, the world forgets. We forget our histories,
And nod it is only gravity for which the earth is round.
If only we had time enough to serve the trivialities,
If only we could see the earth beyond its chemistries,
We’d see things that are, and furthermore astound:
The geometry of clouds, the sciences in the seas.
If only we had eyes enough to see the world with ease,
While crowds of data-dissertations mound…
If only we had time enough to serve the trivialities--
The geometry of clouds, the sciences in the seas…!
Symphony
