Mysterious Night

Puzzling this mid summer time
                I find myself walking down the neighborhood
          Few cars pass by eliminating the cool empty dark spaces
Enigmatically the arcane moon shown over in evasive strange peculiar
            Moment in the horizon it's midsummer around 10 P.M.
The street lights ever shine the sillerettes of the empty abandon parked cars
            I walk, I wonder where are the sounds of the crickets
       Where are those sounds, the meows of the cats in the alleys
     And where're the WOOF-WOOF of the dogs treating them badly

                                    CITIES TWILIGHT 
                          It's about 2 hours after the sunset
                     All is enigmatic strange peculiar dormant
                                        It's such a

Greetings, thank you, and yes out of the darkness comes the light within the darkness lingers blindness, bounds, and strife's? Watch out for what's in the dark, it's not always right, shine the light!! James
