As the author, I could have used a full stop. To end my story. But instead I chose a semicolon; and to continue on.
This piece was a school assignment to compose a musical piece based on a work of art, so I chose DestinyBlue's artwork The Author, which can be found at https://destinyblue.deviantart.com/art/The-Author-676400524
