“As you sow, so you shall reap.”

 

There is a time to sow the seeds

There are times for the rain to come

There are days where the sun is shining or a storm comes up

There is a time for the plant to be in flower and

There is a time to drop the petals so that

Eventually the plant will bear its fruits

There is a time for the harvest

And there is a time when the land seems still

Covered under a cold blanket of snow

There is a time to rise and plough the field

So that a time may come to sow the seeds

 

 

Not every seed may grow, not every flower may blossom and not every fruit may ripen but living in this always changing but still recurring cycle is my motivation. Dedication to the work and passion for music captivate me into the world of imagination. 

The greatest reward lies in sharing my ideas with the people around me.
