Home Song
The tap tap
tap
of rain
on the roof.
The gurgling of rain
in the gutter,
singing me
to sleep.
The quiet ticking
of a clock, and
the low hum of
the refrigerator.
These are the sounds
the house makes,
which most of the time
I'm too busy to hear.
But when I do,
it's magic. It's home.
I love the sound of rain lulling me to sleep. Definitely a sound of home. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDeleteSuch a peaceful mood emerges from this poem. I like the juxtaposition of those natural sounds (gurgling rain down the gutters) to that hum of the refrigerator. I also like that the process of writing this poem brought these sounds 'alive'.
