You Came Back to Me Soft

I came back to you LOUD.

But you wouldn't have it. 
You were soft. As ever.
Steady.
Flowing.
Knowing.
While I was gone you stayed the same
I pictured you this way
when the noise became too much.
watched the birds glide over you
the cliffs look down on you
the trees frame you 
I put myself here 
when I am there. Somewhere LOUD.
I call you back. Or you call me.
I woke up early for you today
didn't make you wait
And you came back to me soft. As ever
