Da Capo al Fine

With treble clef, it starts in pianissimo
Like do-re-mi of notes played 'til la-ti-do
And tunes at mezzo sway in decrescendo
As rhythm began its dance in adagio.

Softly, the music whistled in sheer silence
When the blackbird sings like of a nightingale
The night in lullaby sleeps with quiescence
As melody of zephyr kisses our vale.

Of those morning dews that woke me up from bed
Yesterday's adagio kept me against death
But today's tempo's in rhythmic andante
Luring me to waltz in dramatic forte.

In a jiff, the music beats in allegro
Like feelings within that seem in crescendo,
Like my heart that's thumping in fortissimo
The euphony inside me played de novo.

But when jigsaw puzzles of my opera
Won't fit together for musical drama,
Retrocede to the beginning where it starts
And play it again 'til the very last part.
