The nest is quiet today, and I feel the wind in my wings.
I smile and head for home. Even though it brings me no joy.
I long for my voice to be heard. Something to hope for.
Maybe it will be. Or maybe it is.
But I don’t know for sure.

This poem creates such a tangible feeling of quiet. What it is that I feel when I think of the word “hush”.
I can sense the lift of the air, the wind that supports wings in flight.
And then a great stillness overcomes me, as I read and re-read these words. In that stillness, I hear your voice, Amelia Jane.
Lovely , visually evocative of the meaning.
As I continue to read and reread these sentences, I find that I am filled with a profound sense of silence. I am able to make out your voice, Amelia Jane, deep within that silence. @ Slope Ball

El fin de semana pasado quería probar algo nuevo y encontré una página que ofrece ventajas exclusivas para jugadores de España. Decidí registrarme en spinmama y desde el principio me enganchó lo entretenido que era. En las primeras partidas ya conseguí una pequeña ganancia que me dio mucha motivación. Ahora suelo entrar cada tanto, porque es una forma sencilla de relajarme y pasar un rato emocionante.
That space of longing—so familiar in many creative lives—reminds me of those late‑night shifts when I pen reviews or reflections after hours, feeling both grounded and restless. On a different note, I recently came across a resource at FlexySpin UK during some downtime. It’s not a poetic refuge, but I found the experience surprisingly smooth when I needed a distraction; thought I’d share since sometimes the mind prefers to wander elsewhere before returning to the quiet of the nest.
