No Windswept Snow Can Blind My Way

When windswept snow with potent force
whips through the sky to blind my way
I can't be driven from my course
by windswept snow with potent force
if I look inward to that source
that never leads my steps astray
when windswept snow with potent force
whips through the sky to blind my way.

Author Notes
The triolet is a centuries old French repeating form that consists of 8 lines written in iambic meter. The rhyme scheme is ABaAabAB. The capital letters show the repeating lines so that line 1 is also lines 4 and 7, and line 2 is also line 8. This is a modified triolet because in line 4 I have changed the first word of the repeating line.
