Analysis of Music box
Aging dreams, a reverie
Drifting through this sleepless mind
A melody sweetly sings
On repeat but winding down
Life is like a music box
Growing through the wind
Feel the tension, the apprehension
In forming life’s dance and melody
How long will the music last?
Will the dance suffice?
Winding down, I find the questions flawed
See, It did not matter the length or type.
We were just to find the joy.
