Heavenly Voice

[P4R4D0XX]

Surrounded by the ocean, no one in sight
The strong current thrusts me, dragged away with might
Obscurity envelops me, it grips me tight
All alone in this journey, no reason to fight

Amidst all the pain and darkness, a voice calls from far away
It speaks in a heavenly tone, lets me know I'm not alone
Reminiscent of a sweet lullaby, the voice soothes my soul
As I began to feel vacuous it reminds me I'm whole

Engulfed by darkness I see the light
When I hear the voice, everything feels right
When I'm in doubt it gives me a hand
I'm not alone, the voice understands

The frigid liquid rushing to my lungs, unable to speak
Unable to articulate my deepest sentiments
Hypothermia setting fast, commencing to feel weak
The idea of forsaking the voice is what I lament

Desolated in my own defeat, I hear the voice once more
Reminds me of a future, I've seen it all before
I've wasted years within seconds, time itself makes no sense
Returning to my past will be the greatest recompense
