Rochelle Almonte

Life is not black nor white, they said.

But maybe it is.

Just like piano keys.

A major.

Sound of happiness.

Take a half step backward,

and you’ll fall into,

A minor.

Sound of sadness.

There’s always that decision.

To take a half step forward.

To reach that joy again.

There’s always that choice,

To turn your mood around.

Just know.

To play a moving melody.

You’ll need both.
