Dark of night
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
