A Song of Calm

You take a deep breath and press play. A soft, warm tune floats out — the lullaby your grandma used to hum. It hops from speaker to speaker, soft as a feather.

The scary beep wobbles. It squeaks. It tries to fight back. But the kind song is stronger. The fear-sound fades like fog in the morning sun.

All around town, people blink. They breathe. They smile. The shadows shrink away.

You sit back in your chair and listen to the quiet. You did it, Sam. Sometimes the bravest sound is the gentlest one.
