Thanks Sis! I was feeling down and lonely and could hear the air conditioner, the fan in the freezer and the ceiling fan going. The TV, stereo, and dvd player's off and waiting for me to turn them on. I could see the birds outside, leaves swaying in the trees and knew insects (darned wasps anyway) were waiting for me to open the door. All this was going on, yet all I could hear was the silence. A tear fell to my clothing and I could hear it hit the fabric. I wrote the poem.
When I sat down on the recliner, Chopper (our cat), jumped up on my lap and demanded attention. He rubbed his face against mine, got fur up my nose and jumped when I snorted, lol. Actually made me smile, the first of the day and that helped.
But isn't it amazing what you don't hear when loneliness overtakes you?
Thanks for seeing everything I put in this, Sis!
hugs,
Gail
