Ponderings

What's that noise? I heard a creak, a rattle, or was it a squeak? 

That rumble or mumble came out of silence, a sound most unique

In my ear a sound so queer, an echoing word, meek and oblique

It appears to speak, in a whispering shriek, .....FREAK

From pipes murmuring gripes, do you hear the water seep?

My mind urges me take a peak... is there a leak or do I hear dew drops weep?

A distant roar just like a snore, but what's that beep?

Maybe a bird, I swore I heard someone say the word ....CREEP

Was that a tap or a rap, is someone at the door?

Could it be a knock or someone's talk, coming from under the floor?

The sound of feet, a murmuring beat, each moment closer more

Heard a snap, I'm sure it's a trap.  Was that another word I'd better ignore?

A silent rustle, a mouse tussle, rumble of a distant train

Yet a word so clear can't you hear its murmuring refrain?

I know you hear it, this distant spirit, echoing in my brain

Each drip to the drain, again and again, clearly sings ...INSANE?
