"Twilight"!

Dancing towards Twilight,
what will she bring?
Stories of sadness and woe?

Come Winter, Summer, Fall,
or late Spring;
Twilight is never your foe.

She can sweep around you
a breath of fresh air,
she means to surprise you, for sure;

for she can assist you
in burying a "care",
so tomorrow, you'd better endure.

Don't be embarrassed
to dance with Twilight
she means not to toy with you,

she can help you focus
just lend her your sight,
and then dance to the tune that is true.

I'll come up with a better word that'll fit....

...and keep the continuity intact. Thanks so much for the kind review, it was greatly appreciated. The reason the title is in quotes, is because it's a woman's nickname. "Write On"! #{:>{)}@==== docmaverick.

love it

Oh man, I give you hell sometimes (and I know you love it, teehee) but this delightful piece makes it all worth while. One small tech thing- so tomorrow, you’ll better endure. so tomorrow, you’d better endure. Cheers, Jess

It just so happens....

...that you're correct. "You'd" DOES work a bit better than, "You'll". Thanx elf, for spending your time contemplating this piece. As always, I greatly appreciate your excellent feedback. Yours is a comment that not only sets the course....but also, accentuates the tempo, questions the internal logic, and absolutely stifles the ego so that one may receive the truth....concerning an effort. Really, elf...thanx for your time. As you can still see, I'm still trying to "stretch out"; concerning my writing. At any rate, #{:>{)}@==== "Write On"! docmaverick.
