Love's Symphony
In the quiet chambers of the heart,
Where echoes of eternity reside,
Love unfurls its delicate notes,
A symphony that transcends time.
Love quickens, a spirited waltz,
Hands entwined, spinning through life,
Through storms and sun-kissed mornings,
Together, they compose their strife.
And when the final note approaches,
Love crescendos into eternity,
A symphony completed, yet unending,
For love, my friend, is our soul's serenity.

Beware the savage jaw. The Fool Scoop breaks down George Orwell’s 1984, one of the most impactful dystopian novels ever written.
