Lullaby - 28/12/06

Train wheels screech
Metal on metal
Thunder rolls
The deepest bass
The TV speaks
So quiet
No words are heard
The cat bell rings
Creeping
Pouncing
Playing
With teeth bared
But claws withdrawn
The white noise hum
Of modern life
Computers, fans, traffic far away
Broken by a barking dog
Answered by a train horn
These are the sounds i hear
The sounds i go to sleep to.
My daily lullaby
Of life
The sound i'm missing
The one that i wish
To set my dreaming compass by
Is your heart
Beating near my ear
Your breath, in and out
A somnolent rythm
The beats, creaks, and murmurs
The true lullaby
Of life
