The Empty Nest ..

 



The unabated waves of giggles, joy and laughter ,

 Entwined with screams, holler, breath-holding spells together,


Notwithstanding scolding for late coming from play ,

Extended sleep-time keeping the morning alarm at bay,


Rushing for school bus, overweight bags, prattling with friends,

Soon swept by the  resonance of college hostel , not to defend 


Life , pacing up with new challenge, little one is now grown up,

Career  goals , busy schedules, work continues to pileup,


Flipping through old albums  bygone days , so far the  best,

Tears trickle down , ageing parents, reminiscing in their empty nest!
