Noise

In the dead of night with no one around Wife sleeping so quietly; I close my eyes and I listen to the sounds Laughter, waves and bird song Music beating into the night Breaking glass, a slamming door, cracking of thunder storm Driving rain on a wind swept night I hear jet fighters fly over in a clear summer sky Engines roar with powered temper In the distance speed cracking sharply before the roars die People bustle in a Christmas market Motorway humming over the hills Dogs barking and wining Cat calls screech through the air The noise I listen to in my head To eliviate the noise of nothing here Imagination creates sounds I can hear Because the still quiet in the dead of night Is The Noise I can not bear. 7.3.2017
