Quieter
With everyone sleeping,
Can it get quieter than this?
It seems so.
Something is amiss.
The silence in the house
That usually feels full,
Is measurably quieter
Without you.
Our middle son returned to his college town a week ago. It has been remarked upon by each of us left here how empty and quiet the house feels both day and night. I feel it mostly at night. It's funny though because this child is the one who is the quietest and takes up the least space, yet somehow the lack of his presence has a big impact on us all.
