sounds

I love the sounds of the trains at night

semi trucks that are our of sight

the gears shifting on a 5 speed car

soft voices lilting under the stars

your soft breathing next to me

when I'm awake, and just can't sleep

the dog snoring next to the bed

and reading books, already read

I love the sounds outside our door

coyotes bay and owls hoot more

gentle creatures roaming the woods

seeking shelter for their own good

good night moon and good night stars

good night loved ones wherever you are

have sweet dreams once you lay down

rocked to sleep by sounds from town
