    I am a big fan of yours Eric!

    I wrote a poem and was wondering how you might go about setting the following to music?

    Where gentle winds osmanthus meets
    there shall I hang my hat and greet
    the rising blossom in the east.
    Then at last can I make peace
    with all the forces I know least.

    I hear in color and see in sound
    the louder reds and brighter rounds
    of singing birds that line the trees
    like notes in nameless melodies.

    -Your fan, Ben Tiede (Hong Kong)
