The Great Symphony
Life is a continuum of a Great Symphony.
Adagio airs a soothing melody of sweet love,
laments the inner sorrow, and
the melancholic soul.
Maestoso pitches the triumph of a noble spirit,
pronounces the victory of a long and
hard-won battle.
Fortissimo frees the shout from the depth of the heart,
proclaims the greatest joy
has ever been told.
Pianissimo whispers to your ears, the faintest sob,
breathes the darkest secret
only to you.
Now and then, it comes the rest, and the rest.
Silence!
What tranquility it is, in the Great Symphony of Life.

Thank you, Soooz. I saw the post on your blog. That’s wonderful. I listen to classical music and some oldies, but not the rock and roll or rap. 🙂

I’m a classical music fan, as you can tell, Kim. I missed those great minds of the music giants with depth and complexity. I don’t see any modern music that can do a comparison. We’re safe and well. Thank you, Kim.
