This is from a book:
Laughter in the telephone
The tapping of raindrops on my windowpane
The beating of drums in the bay at night
Footfalls down a long flight of stairs
The giggle of shy school girls
A love song at midnight
The laughter of a baby on a crib
Tinkle of door chimes on a windy day
The frothy fizzle of beer poured into a cold mug
The plop of the cork off a wine bottle
The whispers of "sweet- nothings" of couples at the next
dining table
The soft thud of the freezer door opening at the early
hours of the morning ( My mother's cooking breakfast!)
The sizzle of bacon in a frying pan
A quiet "I'm so sorry"
The sound of waves lapping the beach
The song of men at work
A Christmas Carroll in a cold December
The gentle voice of a father reading a bed time story to
his child
The humming of cicadas
In the heart of the forest, the faraway roar of a small
plane
The screaming of a heavy metal rock band in a crowded
stadium
The hum singing of a mother ironing clothes
The beating of my girlfriends heart
?
What are you Favorite
sounds?
I love the silence of the night!
