Better to die doing what you love, than to live doing nothing at all.


It waits patiently in the far corner
with keys of ivory and ebony.
Silence dominates the still, empty room
until slender fingers strike the first note.

It begins with a melancholy tone
of old regrets, stormy days, and lost love.
Before changing into harsh pounding chords
filled with wrongdoing, bitter lies, and hurt.

High-pitched chimes and tremolos take the stage
expressing first days, waiting rooms, and sweat.
A lively and heartening tune concludes
with summer nights, cloudless skies, and new hope.

A final note hovers in the quiet –
Anticipating a new composer.

no one knows what will happen tomorrow, but things might change, use your time with your loved ones.

the poem is really good but use Sonnet structure. So the rhymes are like this: ABAB CDCD. It's really good for a free verse poem though.
