He was night dark,
ruminated over death
and loss and injustice
Don McLean on repeat
I was sunshine yellow
joy of living
optimism on steroids
Dancing Queen
If opposites attract
then we were magnets
lured by the mystery
One Way or Another
When night meets day
colours explode
light breaks black
Shame, Shame, Shame
(For Eugi’s Causerie weekly prompt: when night meets day. Image mine)

Fantastic incorporation of song titles. Ties that time in life (with all its angst) all together in such a unique way. Well said, V.J.

Fantastic! “Night dark”; “sunshine yellow”. It’s like a dark fairy tale. “[O]ptimism on steroids”, a really great line too.
