a listing in the local classifieds
told me where the miracles reside
with the miracle merchant
in the arctic circle
for who i am searching
traveling by sea turtle
a temple in the mist fades into view
my giant friend slides back into the blue
and through the doorway i go
into a sea of pilgrims
praying to their idols
to cure their endless symptoms
my number's up but i can hardly speak
sir what can you prescribe for this disease
i've come from Ontario
to your holy island
to taste the miracle snow
sold by your blessed hand

Today, user "Some guy", who owns a very interesting collection, bought a couple of albums, including some exquisite chamber music items. Since I couldn't decide which one to purchase first, I grabbed all of the three candidates at once. This little EP, created by Mingjia Chen (pronounced Ming-yee-yah) in company with her "Tortoise Orchestra", clocks in just 14 minutes, but those 14 minutes are so stunning that they immediately leave a lasting expression.
