Sounds of the Night

Sounds of the Night

The sounds of the night
The critters of the dark
The hoot of an owl
The dog that barks

Scream of the bats
Screech of the bandicoot
Drill of the mosquito wings
Silent snake slithering in my boot

Crack of the steely branches
Swish of the wind in the trees
The sounds are everywhere
Yet you cannot see
