Choose your music carefully
Or randomly
One is for explorations, triggers
To something new for appreciation
The other is for contemplations, backdrops
To soak into, to dwell among
Ok, so you’ve gone with Arvo Pärt
Da Pacem (Estonian Philharmonic 2006)
So sit still, at least for fifteen minutes
Let the choral voices wash over you
Yes, you may tell me
Of the pink/red/rust coloured leaves
Flickering in the breeze
Beneath November’s blue blue sky
Or you may close your eyes
Recall the deep sleep
Which you were woken from
By a soft touch to your brow
You might even visualise
Monochrome, or mute blue
Or vast aubergine sunsets
Alive with visceral orange
