The Coming Sound
Whispers come in the breeze,
Whether by sea or
Through the leaves
They always know just
What your mind
Is trying to hide
And they laugh at
Your ineptitude
With a harsh,
Throaty belch that
Sounds something like
The monster voices
Children use in their play
Except this isn't play
The demonesque voices
Chatter in the wind
Pretending to house innocence
Beneath their batting lashes
And youthful sound,
But when they turn around
They greet you with
The greatest of fears
Whispers
They come in the night,
They come through the shadows,
They come when you least expect it,
But always,
They come
No moment are you safe
From the terrors your
Own being tries to shield
You from
The only escape is to go ahead,
Go ahead
And embrace their sound
