Symphony of Life

*Untitled (2010) by Etel Annan

In the twilight's embrace, as lights softly fade, 

And doors gently close, a chapter's cascade, 

It marks not an end, but an intro's grace.

With each closing door, a world is set free, 

A canvas awaiting a masterpiece to be, 

For in the fading light, new stories arise, 

Unveiling the beauty that lies in surprise.

Oh, behold the magic of these closing doors,

Where the old dissolves, and the new one soars.

Guided by hope, we welcome the unknown,

Embracing the challenges, making them our own.

So let the outro's whispers fade into the night.

We greet the dawn of new things, oh can't you see?

In this grand symphony, where our destiny spreads.

That is the symphony of life.
