Sounds in the Dark
Something there is,
That happens in the night.
Something there is,
That hurries away in fright.
We cry in the dark
Because we don’t know.
We cry in the dark
Wondering where to go.
Something climbs the wall.
Something goes thump in the hall.
Something is fast and small.
We fear the dark
From primal instinct
We fear the dark
From something thought extinct
Floorboard creaks
Something sneaks
No one speaks
We hold our breath
Waiting and wondering
We hold our breath
Listening to fluttering
Do you know what’s in the dark?
