When the Lights Go Out
When the lights go out and the house is still, My room begins to speak. The heater hums a sleepy tune, The floorboards softly creak. The curtain sways and waves hello To moonlight on the floor. The faucet down the hallway drips A drumbeat, nothing more. Outside, the maple taps the glass With fingers made of leaves, And raindrops tiptoe, soft and light, Like mice along the eaves. My brother whispers, "What was that?" I pull his blanket tight. "It's just our house," I tell him, "saying Goodnight, goodnight, goodnight." I've learned to hear the house's songs As music, soft and deep, The way an old friend hums along Until you fall asleep.
