Pitter-Patter
Pitter-Patter
Mystical music...
The sounds at night
write themselves
into an operatic story
serenading my subconscious.
Sometimes,
when I wake early enough,
I catch the invisible maestros
of all these strange sounds
as they sing their melodies.
The tick-tock,
drip-drop,
pitter-patter,
amidst a ringing stillness,
becomes the soundtrack
of a world just beyond
my waking perception.
The empty vessel makes the loudest sound.
~ William Shakespeare
