He needed the music for his own merit ...
to be an Eagle Scout

or did she savor his word as a ... ward to scout out ...

The composure
that

is his hymn
to all moments, scenes seen and unseen
truths, lies, keys white and black opportunities
all earn comprehension that your word, words
create sound the music is your ...

answer to the question did you compose ...

“Yes I did”
