   Do  you hear it?It’s the sound of nothingness, of the emptiness that has taken over me. I hear it in the dead of the night when its velvety softness engulfs me, swirling with the emotions buried deep within the frenetic activity of day. I hear it in the bridges collapsing and the distance lengthening between once-beloved friends.I hear it when m...  more...
