I hear a Woodpecker
Hear the sound of a baby crying
the baaing of a sheep
a gentle sound of wheezing while
you lay asleep
A rustle in the treetops
thundering of the rain
whistle in the chillin' wind
tears through a shattered brain
Darkness is a torture
as if we are but blind
exhilarating journey
of a hazardous kind
The hooting of an owl tells the
screeching of a bat
"hear that captured rabbit scream,
he's caught in a foxes trap"
wonderous sounds of life
delightful adrenalin fright
fills the world with peaceful joy
through broken sleep at night
tired in the evening
exhausted in the day
depression grips the dead inside,
'he' has, a peculiar way.

As a child when I once lived in the heart of north London there were woods behind a maternity Hospital, I lived behind them, we would hear fruit Bats, Owls, my neighbours Guinea Pigs being captured and carried away by them and of course rabbits squealing, a powerful orchestra indeed. Now sadly all knocked down, destroyed and houses built upon them. Thanks for your comment :-)
