Calliope's message

Poetry: That voice that calls to you from the core...

That voice that calls to you from the core
That feeling of guidance from a quiet deep
Beyond the raging storm
Beyond the hold of darkness
Close down and listen;
 
Faint but unmoving
Blurred but persistent
Survival sings its chorus
Unshakable
 
Hope: Take me, Break me, Make me.
