Plethyriad

Twilight, owns several dreamscapes,
and dimensions yet explored,
depending on how you react to things
tells what you're leaning towards.

Evil will send you one way,
doubt and hope take away your path
but love will take you home to your heart.

Twilight when the wind blows hard,
lasts longer than usual
opening possibilities
to make your heart feel full.

One step after another
is sure to take you on your way,
your journey's waiting for your command.

Your twilight depends on you, my friend
the world is at your feet;
and choices made will make your life
either difficult, or complete.

Don't wallow in your circumstance
use it as a foothold,
and choose the path that calms your weary soul.

Twilight can be different things
and it's shadow cast, is great;
but, it's present to remind you
that you haven't time enough....to wait.

Thanks for reading....

...and cmmenting. I used BOTH "western classic", AND "freeform" in this one, to try something different. Glad it caught your eye. Trouble is.....I didn't know which one to list it under ! "Write on"! sincerely, #{:-{)}8==== docmaverick.

heya Doc, straight into the breech, my friend

You know poems in the second person ride a fine line, they too easily become preachy or (retch) inspirational. But despite me constantly calling you out on them you keep on doing it and I've got to admit you are making it work. I like this piece. I guess because it goes to deeper places than most second person works do, although I would like to see the "several dreamscapes, and dimensions" explored a bit more. The line depending on how you react to things is a bit clumsy, perhaps just how you react to things Anyhow, good to see you, mate Cheers, Jess, whose nature is irrepressible
