Empty Nest
Empty Nest
Sounds echoing through the house of slamming doors
Heavy metal turned up to a fever pitch
The whirring of the washing machine in perpetual motion
Screams of outrage from warring siblings
The insistent ringing of the telephone
Dogs barking
Cats hissing
Doorbells chiming
Pillows flying
Babies crying
OH LORD...WHEN WILL IT EVER STOP!!!
Oh Lord, who giveth and taketh away…
The sound of silence...
is deafening today!
