Sound of the walls

You might hear them creak

Or maybe even squeak

What if they really want to speak?

Would this make you freak?

Maybe they have something important to say

Or just want to play

Hopefully they won't make you pay

Maybe they just want you to stay

Would you stay or go away?

If you heard a sound

Would you look for something?

Do you think it could be found?

Or would you just listen for what might never be found?

Maybe you would just stand there and listen for any sound

What would you think if you heard something clink?

Would you really want to go near?

Or just stand there and stare

Maybe you would listen if you dare

Or pay attention without a care

Maybe the sound would seem like something profound

It might seem like it is coming from all around

You might think that is all

But maybe there is more

When you hear the sound of the walls
