Silence Is Deafening

I sit here in silence,                                                                                                                    no more TV for me.                                                                                                                    I read and read,                                                                                                                      my eyes are now blood shot.                                                                                                    I look out the window,                                                                                                                I only see the summer birds taking flight.                                                                                  The day is done as I climb into my bed,                                                                                  the silence is deafening to me.

Gershon Wolf Date: 6/25/2020 1:08:00 PM Nice win in the contest, Paula... I wonder what you're reading that's causing your bloodshot eyes. Could it be 'Mary, Queen of Scots?' (aka 'Bloody Mary.').
