My favorite time of the day is Twilight Time.

Heavenly shades of night are falling
It’s twilight time
Out of the mist your voice is calling
‘Tis twilight time

When purple colored curtains
Mark the end of the day
I hear you my dear at twilight time

Deepening shadows gather splendor
As day is done
Fingers of night will soon surrender
The setting sun

I count the moments darling
Till you’re here with me
Together at last at twilight time

Here in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendez-vous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me
Like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me
With dreams untold

Each day I pray for evening just
To be with you
Together at last at twilight time

Here in the afterglow of day
We keep our rendez-vous beneath the blue
Here in the sweet and same old way
I fall in love again as I did then

Deep in the dark your kiss will thrill me
Like days of old
Lighting the spark of love that fills me
With dreams untold

Each day I pray for evening just
To be with you
Together at last at twilight time
Together at last at twilight time

WP Daily Prompt: What’s your favorite time of day?

Winter Twilight – Mikhail Markianovich Germanshev

By definition Twilight is the time period between (astronomical) dawn and sunrise, or between sunset and (astronomical) dusk.

Twilight is my favorite time of the day because even though it is quiet and brief, it is full of drama.

In that brief moment you need to get to were ever it is you are going- either you are heading into a dream or a nightmare or you are heading out of one.

If you are heading into an attic, or a basement or back into a quiet grave it must be a relief to find a cool place to lay your head for a little while and dream about what the Sun rising over head must look like as it searches, in vain for your resting place.

I’ll bet you can’t help but to smile as snuggle down for a little rest and some peace and quiet.

If you are emerging from the night into the daylight it must feel so fine to know that the dreams that chased you in your sleep are as far away from you as the Sun that hangs in the sky above your head and warms the air around you as gently as seconds ticking away on a clock.

Twilight is my favorite time of the day because its the time of the day when nightmares and dreams are roaming free and they are there in plain sight for anyone to see.
