Another Oboe poem...now I hear your context. I love the Oboe too. It's a challenging instrument to play and the range of the instrument is wonderful. I love both double reed instruments, the oboe and the bassoon. Both are different in terms of range, but both have a wonderful earthy tone to them. This poem speaks to the effect of music on a person when they let it enter their souls...it's truly transformative.
That's it, Pam! It's the power of music to transform us, the Orphic power, the soul-states.

How music can permeate into every cell of being, grab your mind and soul, and journey you through the subconscious to an almost astral plane of existence. The oboe reflects his masters skill and summons the desires of the listener and resonates with his spirit. A lovely poem.
OH, this is a wonderful reading of the poem, Simone. And yes music can take us to the astral plane or at least prepare us while we are still in the sensory dimension to ascend there as our future selves.
