Yet again I happened,
I was on my computer
And as ever the radio was on,
Classical music was playing
And that piece of music played
And I just stopped,
Stopped what I was doing
And sat there,
Sat there listening,
Listening to the music,
Listening to that wonderful piece.
I could do nothing else
Nothing else except listen
As I do every time I hear it,
Hear that piece of music,
Spiegel im Spiegel.
It takes me to a place of wonder
Where life is so calm
And so beautiful,
A place I get taken to,
A place where music takes me.
So I say thank you
Thank you Arvo Part,
Thank you for your music,
That mirror in the mirror.
