The nest a cold tomb,
my heavy heart a hollow stone,
my chicks have all flown.

Poem and photo both excellent.
The photograph is from a place near to where I grew up 🙂
Lucky you. 🙂
Beautiful and sad.
…and very quiet 🙂
A nice little bit of melancholy!
I wasn’t getting my email notifications anymore. For some reason, everything reset itself to no notifications. I’ve had to go into following and reset 1 by 1.
Ah the same thing happened to me – I think sometimes when all the changes and updates happen it must go to default settings!!
As a mother who has recently been making peace with her own empty nest….much appreciated!
Aw thank you very much indeed 🙂
