Harmony

Painfully, I have drowned in dissonance and endured chaos in caustic choirs. I longed for the sweetest timbre in a tessitura perfect for my life-song. But da capos and repeat signs filled the score.

I begged for blissful harmonies, melodies and lyrics that marry well, a decrescendo of the dreariness of dissonance, and a climactic crescendo created for glorious angelic voices. 
Our world is a calliope cacophony, a full-stop fortissimo. 

"Turn it off! Silence these deceptive cadences!" my soul cried.

I tuned out the noise and turned off the nonsense on the radio. The distortion button's chord was cut, and the speaker's cable, given tacet measures. 

A fermata of peace I found, a rest of relief. Ah, but for the pleasantness of the pastoral finale.
