Music for the Soul

-after Emily Dickinson

Hope is the composition of a musician—

Chords progressing over the course of the piece—

Decrescendoing to the softest Piano,

Then gradually growing to the greatest Forte.

Although sharp staccatos stab the paper,

The Coda takes us back to the softer section—

Where tenutos talk us to a gentle Slumber—

While music continues on—forever.
