Alone
My time spent.
Without kids.
Alone, silent, healing.
I do what is needed to be done.
Sleep.
Rest.
Cry.
Be.
I am so grateful for what I have.
So lucky to have intense love and time spent with them.
And then quiet solitude to heal and mend.
I never had quiet.
My life was loud and filled with the ta-da of it all.
Thinking back to that old world makes me breathless and dizzy.
I need quiet.
To listen.
I need quiet.
To hear the silence.
And to hear the silence.
I need quiet.
To find me.
What I want.
What I need.
Who I am.
