To express the sheer joy of living, like the birds sing to summer's breeze.

In Reality it is nothing
One who sees the true nature of existence and non-existence 
never ceases to exist”

Did Bach know to what end
his harvest of melodies-in-parallel would become?

The sea of boundless Oneness
Cognised by ascending consciousness 
Transitioning to pure awareness
