Demons in the Rough

Should you wander out
amidst nights' "twilight time",
it can end up going one of two ways;

if you fail to notice,
which would be a major crime;
youll have to wait, and see how the evening...plays.

Should you venture into
this "twilight force",
I can't emphasize this, nearly enough;

your existence will completely change,
and that's just "par for the course";
those, are your demons in the rough!

And, you're all completely aware
that ordinary eyes,
will never witness, and record all that occurs;

those visual discernments,
are rewards for the one who still, tries;
regardless, of what either night offers.

So, all first impressions
are the everlasting ones...too,
which could easily point out the, "right stuff";

take nothing for granted,
now, your fears are completely in view;
and those, are your demons in the rough!

Hello,

Interesting title! These lines intrigued me:

Should you venture into
this "twilight force",
I can't emphasize this, nearly enough;

your existence will completely change,
and that's just "par for the course";
those, are your demons in the rough!
