Searching For the Loud Crash

Everyone asleep In a deep slumber Then suddenly bang! Followed by a crash Everybody awakes Starts to search the house To seek the sound Until one person Decided to rest Noticed the empty Wall across from him He noticed the floor Where the antique clock Scattered to pieces On the wooden floor

Sometimes we just try too hard. Relax and be aware, it's amazing what we may discover. Enjoyed the Narrative Poem Darlene. Hugs, Bill

Hello Bill, a loud crush can wake a person up quickly from a sound sleep. When not rushing around and resting. Just by looking around you come across the object of the sound that crashed to the floor. Hugs. Darlene

Quite a description! Moving on many levels -- to a positive note, maybe a sign to forget the old time, and start a-fresh.
