White Noise

30/10/2020 –  Poem a Day Compilation



I long for white noise in the dead of night

When I yearn to sleep without the light

And crave dreams with all my might

Yet every time it is a fight.



I long for white noise to wash over me

For the creaks and crashes to let me be,

To sleep knowing that I am free

From the jarring sounds of things I can’t see.



I long for white noise to block out the sound

That causes my tired head to pound

But the clamour just goes round and round

And not rest can ever be found.
