Kind of a free association/stream of consciousness, free verse something.

sometimes darkness comes with sound
so loud.
chaotic.
stifling.
consuming me.
abusing me.
is there a way out?
i feel so lost...

but still Your voice-
soft,
consistent,
clarity-
whispering to me
from somewhere in the distance
calling me
return to me, oh child
return to me

i am answering.
