		<description><![CDATA[(from A Book for the Hours of Prayer)
I live my life in growing orbits
which move out over the things of the world.
Perhaps I can never achieve the last,
but that will be my attempt.

and I have been circling for a thousand years,
and I still don&#8217;t know if [...]]]></description>

	there are forests of oak, mountain lions and moss
Seismic shifts and lightening bolts are inside
	enervating every silent thought	
All the dancing impulses of nature are here
	laughter, grief, hunger     swirling
	in the winds      and time
There is ecstatic music, echoing through these chambers
	and starlight [...]]]></description>

mother of creation,
this earth
What silent hunger
causes big breasted women
to wander in my dreams.
Oh happy happy death &#8211; this fool
asphyxiated in the heaving depths
of the cleavage of the beloved.

(ft. Sagan, Feynman, deGrasse Tyson &#038; Bill Nye)
more at symphonyofscience.com
melodysheep apparently uses Reason 4.0 (instrumentals), Adobe Audition (audio editing), and Melodyne (auto-tuning), but the musicality, art and inspiration is all his own. Good stuff.
