The sounds of silence….

Have you ever just wanted a little peace and quiet? I just love to sit in the living room on some nights with the tv off and just sit there and listen to nothing. It is such a nice way to quiet your mind and thoughts! My husband argues that sleep is there to serve that purpose. Sometimes after a long day of noise, chatter and temper tantrums…it’s nice to just hear absolutely nothing!
I’m listening for nothing, not sure if it’s there
Wondering is this like an unanswered prayer
I close my eyes and concentrate hard
Perhaps my nothing is there in the yard
I open the door and peer through the fog
My nothing it seems was a lonely stray dog
back to the couch remote in my hand
The deafening silence is like a rock band
For a moment or two , nothing might be quite nice
But more than ten minutes my brain turns to ice
TV is back on, nothing’s gone missing
The chatter you hear is really a blessing
Watching TV
Mind far away
getting prepared
for the next noisy day.
What? What IS that? Huh? Wait. Ahhhhhhh Kids are in BED! YAYAYAYA! I feel ya girl!
