I suppose it would be like the chimes in the back row -- reverberating through the piece with subtle staccatos that make the audience smile.

As a children's fiction writer, I imagine my work might take the part of a merry flute, capturing the attention of young ones and drawing them into a lifelong dance with the written word.

My song, Truth to set the captives free. I think of truth as the cymbals, breaking through all the noise. A distinct sound that can't be missed.
