Title: 20 Different Ways To Rise With The Music

Character(s): All

Rating: K+

Genre: Varied; All
Summary: This is a series of oneshots concerning characters of the 39 Clues, written in stanza form, with 4 lines per stanza, as a way of telling each story. Characters will be randomly picked and are not in any specific order.

The previous chapter's answer is Grace. Let me tell you now that the title of each chapter does not necessarily reflect on the person - it only sets the mood for each piece. I even dropped you a hint in the fourth line of the second stanza: "And timelessgrace." But one can be easily misled, no? Anyway, I believe Klbooks got this one right.

Special thanks to Joelle8, my wonderful beta, who was sadly overlooked for her work in the last chapter because this author was insensitive enough to insert that one line. I won't forget you this time, Joelle8.

Multi-Chapter.

Chapter: 3/20

~ The Third Movement: Vibrato~

See the joy

In the curve of his lips;

See the sunshine

In his bright eyes.

The happiness that comes

From somewhere within

Is never lacking

And comes without warning.

If only you know

Where it hides,

If only you see

All the things you can be.

But regret has been far

From his calm mind,

And now he will take

What he has been given.

So yes, it is hard

To keep smiling through it all,

To withstand such risks

Even if he will fall.

When the rain comes,

It will wash him away.

When the wind blows,

His heartbeat slows.

Still he smiles,

Persistent as day,

When sun will still rise

Even after night's reign.

And he reaps all,

All he has sown –

He knows every moment,

Knows every pain.

Vibrato,

Wonderful piece:

A balm to his heart,

Now true music does start.

Vibrato,

Keep playing mind's keys:

Help him hold on

Help him move on.
