I used to talk for hours on the phone;
Before that no, I barely spoke at all.
As changes changed my life, o how I’ve grown!
It took me to a kind of twilight zone,
His conversation anything but small.
I used to talk for hours on the phone.
I gave myself to others as a loan,
A borrowed blessing passing in the hall.
As changes changed my life, o how I’ve grown!
His spirit woke my every nerve and bone,
A voice within; I answered when he called.
I used to talk for hours on the phone.
Now I am not an island, but a stone
Creating waves of goodness as I fall.
As changes changed my life, o how I’ve grown!
One Life in everything, the truth be known;
His Light the highest nature of us all.
I used to talk for hours on the phone;
As changes changed my life, o how I’ve grown!

I really enjoy this form, but it takes a lot of time and thought to write.
Mystical Strings 
A challenge to write this form, I know. Thanks for joining in.
I like the theme of awakening with: His Light the highest nature of us all.
I also like the journey of changes with this line:
As changes changed my life, o how I’ve grown!
This is full of wonderful lines. I particularly like:
I gave myself to others as a loan,
A borrowed blessing passing in the hall.
Nice lines: “Now I am not an island, but a stone
Creating waves of goodness as I fall.”
Great words to describe a journey of growth we all relate to.
I gave myself to others as a loan,
A borrowed blessing passing in the hall.
What a great line. I really like the conversational tone of this villanelle. You are talking about quite deep, profound matters, but use such restraint in your language. The repetitions feel effortless.
Transformation for the better whatever the influence! Well done with this villanelle.
