A Symphony

by Alex Andy Phuong

A Symphony

A theory of musicality
In a life that is theatrical
Playing a role of a lifetime
Focusing on being at peace
As a way to release
Shame and regret
And then marvel at the
Wonderment of finding
Harmony within reality
Through the acceptance
Of all that is real
While allowing oneself
Time to heal
