lying awake,
well past good night
but no yet good morn
I hear the sounds of the night

the car passing slowly
and the thud of the thrown newspaper
the bark of the neighborhood mutt
as he hears the feline intruder

the faucet that drips
as a tease to my inept plumbing abilities
the clock that ticks
but doesnt really

the creaking of the new joists
are they really built to code
the wind passing thru the trees
and whistling gently

the gentle rain
as it bounces off the roof
the collection in the gutters
then down the spouts, watering the lawn

the sound of my blood
rushing thru my veins
the pounding of my heart
each beat at a time

the gentle wheeze
of my old asthmatic lungs
the rustling of the sheets
as i toss and turn to find a comfortable spot

the darkeness evelopes me
as I listen to the sounds of the night
to sleep, perchance to dream
but to dream you cant hear the sound of the night
