An Introduction of Sorts

From beginning to end,
this book is a life pressed in pages;
a life well lived by a writer who spoke too soon.
A new page is a new day,
one more memory,
and another song to the sound of a heartbeat pounding away.
The muse weeps again, and these are her tears;
The muse sings again and these are her notes;
The muse starts again and this is her end.
