Noise In The Night Poem by Peter (Prof) Fox

Awoken by a noise in the night
the poet wonders:
Is there malice abroad?
Is it coming, or going, or real?

Waiting for another noise in the night
the poet wonders:
Is it searching for HIM?
Does it know that he's here?

Frightened by a noise in the night
the poet wonders:
How the dark blindfolds courage
How to hide from the unknown

Searching the silence of the night
the poet wonders:
How long will his breath hold out?
Then what'll happen?

Comforted by dawn's hint of light
the poet wonders:
How the taught imagination
Resonates to tiny vibration

Shrugging off the noise in the night
the poet knows:
How the quietest moments
create the biggest tensions.

Annoyed by the noise of the day
the poet searches for silence.
