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 Barking at everything that moves even the summer wind The denseness of this presents, silent and noises It's clear to me yet in this dark can't see The night fell, it's night fall in this nighttime darkness pitch blackness prevails And I can't see my hand in front of me because there's no room in the SHADOWS DARKNESS CITIES TWILIGHT It's about 2 hours after the sunset All is enigmatic strange peculiar dormant It's such a Mysterious Night

Thank you Eve, I believe those outside sounds are caught inside the mystery of the deep night (not even crickets are talking Ha, Ha, Ha) :D James

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
