He added echoes, but not merely repetitive sequences,
so that we gain wisdom while
happy memories are revisited,
faults are recalled, and
relationships are reviewed.
He added dissonances, each always resolved by a consonance,
so that we have spices in life, until we realize
how easy are times of difficulties,
how hopeful are times of dispair, and
how surpirsing life can be, however expectable it is.
He added rests, irregularly yet perfectly scheduled and timed,
so that one day when life seems to reach a halt, we can still
listen to the beats of silence,
expect the pause of the pause, and appreciate
how expectable life can be, however surprising it is.
How many times will history repeat itself?
How will the dissonance be resolved?
How long will the silence be?
How will the tonic arrive?
