Song of Life

Better to compose than to write the song of life -
but I am no musician.

It would have three movements.

The first: an ever-accelerating dance of experimental rhythms.

The second: a collapse of harmony and speed into ponderous, broken chords.

The third: a controlled melody that breathes acceptance and cautious hope.
