Simplicity of a two tone
Haunting resonant music
Voices and instruments combining
The specialness of Arvo Pärt
Transporting me to the abbey cloisters
The quiet corner, the nave
To the north beach in the storm
Iona
Heart slows down
Shoulders dropped
A soft weighty-ness
Into the Earth
Eyes closed
Hands together
The pendant holds the memories now
As it ends, returning to the light
The people around me
A reverence
For the power of music
To echo and reverberate
To reach inside
On Passiontide
[Written at Sansara and Fretwork performance, St Martins in the Field]
