A Muffled Sound

A muffled sound
    that I knew not
  as it echoed
    across my lot

  It spoke in code
    to primal fear
  seemed to cry
    Get out of here

  O, how I wish I could
    make out the words
  Tho' that success
    would rob my guess

If the words aren’t audible perhaps they’re not meant for your ears…don’t lean in…run
