Dark of night

Folder: 
book 15

as I sit within my room

     to creaks and pops of walls I listen

as the cooling of the night

     changes bring in darkness with out

 

silence rings within my ears

     perhaps hiding things that should not be

and dark fears within me stir

     wondering of what I cannot see

 

who can know what is with out

     lurking perhaps without the light

forgotten not of childhood fears

     still creep within the adult mind

 

 sounds I hear from far away

     of dogs and cars and music playing

slipping through my walls too thin

     stirring thoughts within my mind

 

perhaps I should now slip away

     journey to into the night

leave my room and its light

     and seek out what’s in the night
