Soft whispers,
Floating in the air,
Knowing that someone is there,
A quiet soft stare,
Most gentle voices carry me to sleep,
Moving from ear to ear,
Erasing my fear,
A few times bringing a quiet tear,
Falling into a normal routine,
Sleeping nightly to the voices of strangers,
A screen removing all the dangers,
Slipping into a comfortable tingle,
The static of silence broken by the kind voice,
Relaxed by an unconscious choice,
Floating into a state new to me,
Calmly free,
Aware of everything that is there,
Knowing that I demand the quiet,
A quiet that is never violent,
Keeping me safe broken by one voice,
My calming choice.
