IN THE NIGHT
THE SOUNDS IN SILENCE
The drip, drip, drip of a faucet,
the flush of a toilet,
heavy steps from the floor above,
an ambulance screaming,
a Harley roaring by,
a father praying for a lost daughter,
a wife and husband thanking each other,
for being here with each other, then
a baby cries in the other room….
