That Sound I Heard Last Night
August 8, 2018
What was that sound I heard last night?
What was that which gave me a fright?
Was it real? Or something I dreamed?
Was it really all it seemed?
Was it a laugh? Or a cry of pain?
Was it the thunder and the rain?
Was it the night bird's song?
Maybe it wasn't anything, maybe I was wrong.
But still I can't help thinking and or forget my fright,
All because of that sound I heard last night.

This poem describes the plight of an individual when s/he is trying very hard to figure out something but is not able to do so. It's about a small, and maybe insignificant sound that someone hears at night and is not able to make out what the sound actually is.
