And I remember which day
You swept me off my feet, but gently
A toe still drawing
Lines in the sand

Underneath the crescent moon
My love she will return soon
Been gone for far too long
We will walk hand in hand to nature's nighttime song

Premium Member Workless

A neon light illumined 
the soiled feet projecting from the box
in the nighttime doorway of the store.
Made in China, 
the box, 
and the soul within it.

Live each day as last,

	blessed with work and play.

Nighttime may not cast

        your gift...a brand new day.

Daisy became a daisy light at midnight
She was a godsend to this reader, Willam White
During the day she kept him clean
At nighttime he read books easily seen

Look Here

Let 
Me see
The true you
Looking at me
In the nighttime sky as the sun goes down

I will then know that you see only me
Not distracted
By beauty
That is
Near
