"Oftener". It doesn't sound like it's a word, but it is, according to OED http://www.oxforddictionaries.com/definition/english/often it's a cool archaism, which I may find myself using in a story or poem at some juncture.

Day or night? Reason too
Night: I love the quiet, the mystery and the solitude of night-time. I do some of my best writing at night as there are fewer distractions and my brain seems to be more alert.

Will You?
Will you forgive clumsy indiscretions,
Mistakes and crass foolishness?
Will you look beyond a false impression
And seek an unbiased, un-blinkered truth?
Will you care enough to want to
Look any further than the obvious
And make the effort to overcome
Your preconceived notions?
Do you have it within you to agree
That mistakes have been made
By both parties in the conflict?
Do you have the willingness
And awareness to acknowledge
That to move forward what has passed
Needs to be left firmly in the past?
Can you forgive and forget?
More to the point, do you want to?
