Listening to his music is overwhelming to the senses. The building sounds and frequencies brought me to the bowls used to enhance meditation in yoga class and reminded me of the phrase: 'Nadha Brahma' which means the whole creation and the creator are just sound...everything we experience is vibrating energy. Your poem does a nice job of evoking the thoughts, feelings, and observations that occur when one experiences such music and become deeply immersed within it.

Music is rightly called the food of the soul. You have beautifully depicted the impact of spiritual music here. How it helps you through your life path and relations is so wonderfully put in this gem of a work. Though I have never heard INORI music but I can feel that it plays a big part in your self-discovery. And the hands that flutter helplessly in the empty air in the beginning finally find another hand. An ingenious depiction of a spiritual awakening.

I have to listen first to the music to feel it better than I already did.Sensitiveness of a soul in philosophical agony.Beautiful depicted.

Beautiful poem to read while listening the ''music of INORI''.I like this part of your poem-a lot ''I reach out to you, but my hands flutter helplessly in empty air.''

Thank you for your comment. This poems means a lot to me, bercause I finally found the language to express my appreciation of Stockhausen's spiritual music. I tried in the past to do so but the words failed me. He died in 2007 but he was prepared for the next stage of LIFE and in some mysterious way he is still alive. It helps that you see the poem as a successful communication. And past and present, I have enjoyed your sweet poems.
