Empty Nest

A big space but not a vaccume a great weight lifted as they move away from me these children off to their own lives my house becomes quiet again my own I do not miss them this is mine now my empty nest a renewal of marriage so hard won so precious just us now long evenings talking yes you are seducing me again I love to see you happy your eyes shining I know for such a long time you have wanted me just to yourself well I'm all yours. let us begin our next life

I am glad they are gone. I know they will come back, probably tag teaming, but because they can leave I know I have done a successful job and given them values to move forward: imagine if they were stuck at home unable to live! I am also looking forward to this new part of my life: our lives: I am swimming in possibiities. Its a happy time!
