The sound of the night

 The sound of the night awakens me
what could it be?
For sure, a sight I've never seen
a place in which I've never been
what could it be?
The thought keeps me awake
I feel a sudden headache
As I'm blinded:
body, soul, and mind ignited.


The colors, the light!
So astounding in a previously calm night
I cry for help
but what comes out, as a faint yelp
I feel as if being torn apart
as my heart my body departs




It finally stops
Was it all a dream?
A brief scream?
and I feel the sound of faint raindrops:





The sound of the night.
